Eating Disorders

Change text size + -
 

Eating is something most of us take for granted. However, for those who suffer with eating disorders, the very process of eating can become a source of fear, panic, anxiety and pain. Left untreated, this cycle can race out of control, with potentially deadly consequences. Each year, millions of Americans develop serious eating disorders, and one in 10 die from complications related to their condition. If you know someone you think may be suffering from an eating disorder, the Eating Disorders Institute (EDI) can help.
