RE 
THE EATING DISORDERS?
Eating Disorders (ED) are serious mental illnesses that are
related to altered behavior regarding eating habits, which
translates into behaviors ranging from uncontrolled eating
to lack of food intake. It mainly affects adolescents and
young women and is mainly influenced by biological and
personality factors. 
All subtypes of EDs are characterized by altered behavior
towards dietary intake or the appearance of weight-
control behaviors. Often the symptoms of EDs vary over
time and many people, who initially have more restrictive
pictures, may end up binge eating or vice versa. EDs are
associated with multiple medical and psychological
complications and affect a person's psychosocial functioning.

LDN'T NORMALIZE EDS?
ED's have a solution, as long as you go quickly to the clinic and seek help,
both from professionals and from the family nucleus. In any case, we
cannot ignore the reality: according to professional clinics, anorexia
nervosa is the psychiatric disease with the highest mortality rate
worldwide.
ED's prevent the proper functioning of the organism in every
way, since without energy, cells cannot continue with their
metabolic reactions necessary for existence. Caloric intake
reduced to a minimum causes osteoporosis (by calcium
resorption), loss of muscle tone, gastrointestinal problems,
electrolyte abnormalities, kidney damage and, ultimately,
cardiac pathologies that can lead to death.
