Nutrition, which is one of our most basic needs, is very important for our survival. Eating habits differ from person to person, and if these habits continue for a long time in an extremely unbalanced and unhealthy way, eating disorders can occur. Eating disorders are a disorder that negatively affects human psychology, as well as stomach, liver or heart disorders. Eating disorders, which are generally seen at young ages and mostly in women, are divided into several different types. One of the most common eating disorders is Anorexia Nervosa.
Anorexia Nervosa; People who care excessively about their appearance, limit the food they eat and decrease to abnormally low weight.
Another one is Bulimia Nervosa; Bulimia patients who consume a lot of food in a short time are very ashamed of this situation. The feeling of shame combined with the fear of gaining weight results in them making themselves throw up forcibly. In order to prevent weight gain, they can apply heavy sports and diet programs. Today's perceptions of beauty or the desire to attract attention can trigger this situation.
Psychological problems that occur with eating disorders can be seen as depression, anxiety disorders and personality disorders.
