EATING DISORDERS AND FOOD ADDICTION
Teen Eating Disorder Overview
Studies have shown that more than half a million teenagers have eating disorders. Teenage girls are at greatest risk, with as many as 10 in 100 young women suffering from an eating disorder, but a growing number of teenage boys are struggling with eating disorders as well.
Eating disorders may begin as a diet or new workout routine that gets more restrictive and obsessive over time. Teens may stop spending time with family or friends in order to exercise longer, or may cut out food groups until their diet consists of a limited number of low-calorie foods.






The most common teen eating disorders are:
- Anorexia — Restricting food intake by dramatically limiting calories and/or exercising excessively.
- Bulimia — Binging on large amounts of food and then ridding the body of calories by purging. Purging behaviors may include forced vomiting, exercising excessively, or abusing laxatives or diuretics.
- Binge Eating Disorder — Regularly binging on large amounts of food without purging.
Eating disorders are serious illnesses that can be life-threatening. Health consequences may include heart conditions, kidney failure, diabetes, malnutrition, low blood pressure and anemia. Many teens with eating disorders also suffer from other problems such as anxiety, depression and substance abuse.


Causes of Teen Eating Disorder
Eating disorders often begin in adolescence when teens are experiencing changes in their bodies, their hormones, their peer group, and the expectations at home and in school. Teen eating disorders often develop out of misdirected attempts to control some part of life, or to cope with difficult feelings or experiences. They are rarely about food.
While there is no single known cause of teen eating disorders, factors that may play a role include:
GeneticsHome environment (growing up around role models who diet or worry excessively about their weight)Weight-related bullying or peer pressureHormonal changesPersonality (being a perfectionist, a chronic worrier or extremely sensitive to criticism)Social pressures and images in the mediaLow self-esteemOther mental health issues (such as anxiety, depression or obsessive compulsive disorder)Having a career or hobby that emphasizes weight or size (such as dance, modeling or athletics)Stressful life events (such as divorce or loss of a loved one)Unhealthy or abusive relationships



Symptoms of Teen Eating Disorder
Teens with eating disorders are preoccupied with their weight, spending much of their time counting calories, exercising compulsively and planning ways to hide their behavior from others.
