1. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF EATING DISORDERS AND HOW WE TREAT THEM?

2. EATING DISORDERS By definition, eating disorders are about unhealthy behaviours related to food, right? Well, yes and no. The symptoms certainly focus on food. Surprisingly, though, eating disorders (such as anorexia, bulimia or selective eating disorder) are not really about food at all. It is about underlying emotional imbalances, emotional triggers and environmental factors that fuel the continuation of eating disorder symptoms as a means of coping with life stresses.
