disorders
eating disorders frame several chronic and

nature, and even though they manifest
themselves through eating behavior, in reality
they consist of a complexity of symptoms
among which an alteration or distortion of
body self-image prevails, a great fear of
gaining weight and other problems related to
acceptance by other people.
