Some people use dieting, bingeing and purging to cope with their emotions and help feel in control of their lives. Unchecked, these behaviors weaken physical health, damage self-esteem and interfere with relationships. Untreated, eating disorders can forever alter a person's life and shatter valuable relationships with family and friends.
The Laureate Eating Disorders Program maintains that early detection of eating disorders is one of the most important factors in successful recovery. If you suspect that someone close to you has an eating disorder, it is important to intervene.
