  • Anorexia is often connected to feelings of low self esteem, intense distress and negative self image.

  • Usually people hide this behaviour pattern from others and their weight is often in a healthy range.
  • Eating large amounts of food, often to manage feelings and emotional problems
  • Feeling like you are unable to stop eating (can also be referred to as compulsive eating)
