Eating Disorders
What is an eating disorder, and how does it tend to develop? It has been said on many a webpage, and within many books, and by countless medical and mental health care professionals that disordered eating is simply the symptom of deeper, underlying psychological issues that the individual is not able to cope with, or address. The nature of this portfolio is to explain in as much depth as possible how eating disorders develop, and possible ways of coping and eventual recovery, if recovery is possible.
There are so many different eating disorders which have been discovered, but there are only a few that are actually well known. Some seem to stem from genetics, and some from learned behaviours, and yet others from deep emotional issues of abuse or some form of mental/emotional torment toward the sufferer, but all are physically, mentally, and emotionally devastating to both the person suffering with the disorder, and even to close members of their families, and friends. This portfolio will touch base on several topics in an attempt to educate and inform the reader, and hopefully erase some of the stigma and misconceptions/opinions formed due to this typically diverse psychological issue.
