Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions typically characterized by unhealthy relationships with food, body image, and behaviors. They affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. In the US, 9% of the population, or 28.8 million Americans will have an eating disorder in their lifetime(1). 

Eating Disorders often arise from a combination of genetic, biological, psychological, and sociological factors. The primary types of eating disorders are: Anorexia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia Nervosa, ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), and OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and eating Disorder). Eating disorders are commonly known as the most fatal of mental health disorders. According to statistics in the early 2020s, 1 person dies every 52 minutes, as a direct consequence of an eating disorder (primarily Anorexia Nervosa) (2). Due to the physical and psychological affects, treatment for eating disorders is paramount.
