Course Description
Eating Disorders Overview
Overview, demographics
Eating disorders involve severe disturbances in eating behavior that can affect people throughout the lifespan. Despite the association of eating disorders with women and recent times, the condition is found in both genders, all social strata, and across cultures, and has been reported in early psychiatric literature. (Gull, 1873)
These disorders can be life-threatening and tend to be chronic. (Attia, 2010; Herzog et al., 1999) They typically start in adolescence and are, overall, much more common in females, with approximately 3% of young women having one of the three primary eating disorders: bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, or anorexia nervosa. (Becker et al., 1999).
According to the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, rates of prevalence in women for anorexia nervosa are 0.
