An eating disorder is a condition which affects an individuals eating habits, either as a result of their own doing (self-inflicted), or as a bodily reaction to the consumption of food. Eating disorders can range from mild mental anguish to life-threatening conditions, and can affect every aspect of an individuals daily life. According to the authors of Surviving an Eating Disorder, "feelings about work, school, relationships, day-to-day activities and one's experience of emotional well being are determined by what has or has not been eaten or by a number on a scale."[1] Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are the most common eating disorders generally recognized by medical classification schemes,[2] with a significant diagnostic overlap between the two.[3] Together, they affect an estimated 5-7% of females in the United States during their lifetimes[4] and "approximately 10% of eating disordered individuals coming to the attention of mental health professionals are male".[5] There are several other eating disorders which are prevalent amongst certain demographics that are being investigated and defined - Rumination syndrome, Compulsive overeating, and Selective eating disorder.

Anorexia nervosa is deliberate and sustained weight loss driven by a fear of distorted body image. It is a serious disorder that will lead to death.[6] It is not to be confused with anorexia, which is a symptomatic general loss of appetite or disinterest in food. DSM-IV characterizes anorexia nervosa as

There are two types of anorexia nervosa, although eating disorders are now being considered as spectrum disorders. The two types are Restricting type and Binge/Purge type. The difference between anorexia nervosa-Binge/Purge type and bulimia can be related to whether or not the individual is at a healthy weight for their height as well as the underlying reason they are engaging in eating-disordered behavior. For example, a person suffering from anorexia Binge/Purge type may be binging due to malnutrition, while a sufferer of bulimia may be binging to control their emotions.

The appearance of anorexia often occurs during adolescence, with 76% reporting onset of the disorder between the ages of 11 and 20.[8] It is about ten times more likely to occur with females than males.[6] The mortality rate for those diagnosed with anorexia nervosa is approximately 6%—the highest of any mental illness—with roughly half of those due to suicide.[9]
