Eating disorders can occur in people of any age, sex, race and of all body weights, shapes and sizes. The physical, mental and emotional symptoms vary from person to person and by type of eating disorders. Treatment may combine cognitive therapy, medication and other therapies. For more information visit the Cleveland Clinic's website. 

If you are not diagnosed with an eating disorder but feel you suffer from symptoms of it you should speak to your doctor or a mental health professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist. Make an appointment, and they will talk through the next steps with you. This is so they can understand the best next steps to take with treatment and support.
