What Are Anorexia and Bulimia?

Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa are complex “Bio-Psycho-Social” diseases that require a multi-disciplinary approach to treatment. Among the factors that contribute to the development of these conditions are:

• a biologic pre-disposition
• physiologic consequences of semi-starvation
• aberrant nutritional patterns
• cultural pressures
• family problems
• psychological stressors
• psychological make-up

Recovery is best achieved when each of these issues is addressed via individualized treatment plans.
