The reason why I have chosen this topic is to highlight aserious problem that today's generation is facing: eatingdisorders.

Eating disorders are real, complex and devastating

conditions that can have serious consequences for health, productivity and relationships.

Every person should be informed about them and thedangers they may be exposed to.

These eating disorders are very dangerous if they are notdetected in time because they can cause even death.

People should learn to feel good about themselves and their body.



I have divided my paper into seven chapters.

The first chapter offers a classification of the eating disorders common in the

USA, both those recognised by doctors and those which are unfortunately

not.

The second chapter deals with the factors that cause eating disorders.

In the third chapter I have tried to describe the symptoms and the

complications that might appear in these disorders.

Chapter four discusses how eating disorders are diagnosed based on signs and

the tests that are made by doctors.

Chapter five comprises treatments and drugs that help people recover from

an eating disorder.

In the sixth chapter is presented the program of reabilitation for a person that

suffered from an eating disorder.

Chapter seven shows how treatment can be found anywhere, even in one’s

own house.
