Description: Body image disorders affect a significant portion of the population.Most sufferers are women, but one in 10 are men. While these disorders are more common in those aged 15-25, they can and do start at any age. The most common eating disorders are anorexia, bulimia and compulsive over-eating. Anorexia, which involves depriving the body of food, is more common in young people. Bulimia, characterized by a cycle of starving and bingeing, is more likely in adults.The increase in eating disorders has been blamed on media emphasis on super-thin models and ideal bodies, which can affect how people perceive themselves, but the causes of eating disorders are often more complex and are linked to general feelings of self-worth and issues of control. This book looks at eating disorders within the context of general body image and self-perception.
