Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are characterized by persistent abnormalities in eating behaviors and are associated with emotional distress. People with eating disorders have complex relationships between body image, food, and social relationships. Sometimes, sensory issues can play a part in avoidance-type eating disorders. 

One thing that makes eating disorders difficult to treat is that, unlike other addictions and compulsions, you can’t abstain from all food, and you need to create a healthy relationship with nutrition.
