What are the effects of eating disorders

[akshaykalia]

I have a friend who is very obsessed with her looks and figure. Recently, she has been having gastric pain. I am worried that this is a symptom of eating disorders.

What exactly are the effects of eating disorders? Are they categorised into physical or mental effects? And how does eating disorder harm a person's health and body?

That's easy. Depending on the kind of disorder, you usually gain or lose weight in a short time. You will get stomach problems and usually feel tired and generally not up to your fullest potential due to blood circulation issues.

Eating disorders have very many effects on the sufferers.The effects can be divided into mental and physical .

Anxiety ,depression, and difficulty to focus on tasks can be related to mental effects.One of the very important effects of eating disorders is a distorted body image when people see a wrong picture of themselves and others.
