Abstract
Abstract:
It is no surprise that eating disorders (EDs) are increasing all over the planet. With the
emergence of global westernization, development in technology, and societal changes, nearly all
regions of the globe have been influenced by the concept of a perfect body image and height.
EDs are a considerable public concern, a bewilderment for psychologists and a challenge for
physicians. The primary EDs include anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge
eating disorder (BED). AN is an ED that is psychological and possibly life-threatening. Usually,
people with AN experience an exceedingly low body weight due to their height and body shape.
The highest rate of occurrence is between 14 and 17 years of age. BN is an extreme, lifethreatening,
neurological ED in which you have binge eating cycles. You may not have any
sense of balance in your diet throughout these binges. The weight-control engagement of patients
with AN and BN results in various physiological shifts. EDs can control your lives and can be
quite hard to cope with. Yet you will develop a better understanding of who you are by therapy,
return to healthy eating and exercise, and undo any of the severe complications of AN. Investigation
into EDs has yielded valuable new information over the past few decades, notably involving
the psychological features and care of patients. The purpose of this study/review is to expand the
knowledge of the people about these EDs, their global burden, diagnostic criteria, risk factors,
medical complications, management, and the newly added avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder.
