EATING DISORDERS
Eating Disorders are most common in young girls. Anorexia Nervosa (drastic weight loss due to fasting and excessive exercise) and Bulimia (binge eating followed by self-induced vomiting and the abuse of laxatives) can develop over a period of time. Being secretive about his or her consumption of food could indicate a problem. Treatment is through counselling.
