An eating disorder is a mental disorder defined by abnormal eating habits that negatively affect a person's physical and/or mental health.[1] They include binge eating disorder, where people eat a large amount in a short period of time; anorexia nervosa, where people eat very little due to a fear of gaining weight and thus have a low body weight; bulimia nervosa, where people eat a lot and then try to rid themselves of the food; pica, where people eat non-food items; rumination syndrome, where people regurgitate food; avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), where people have a reduced and selective food intake due to some psychological reasons (see below); and a group of other specified feeding or eating disorders.[1] Anxiety disorders, depression and substance abuse are common among people with eating disorders.[2] These disorders do not include obesity.[1]
The causes of eating disorders are not clear, although both biological and environmental factors appear to play a role.[2][3] Eating disorders affect about 12 percent of dancers.[4] Cultural idealization of thinness is believed to contribute to some eating disorders.[3] Individuals who have experienced sexual abuse are also more likely to develop eating disorders.[6] Some disorders such as pica and rumination disorder occur more often in people with intellectual disabilities.[1] Only one eating disorder can be diagnosed at a given time.[1]
