Eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating affect more than five million people in the United States and millions more throughout the world.  Eating disorders are serious psychiatric illnesses that affect men and women, and thousands of those suffering eating disorders will die from the physical problems resulting from these conditions if they are not treated properly.
