Patients with anorexia nervosa, bulimia or binge eating represent a very large and intrinsically differentiated group with distinct comorbidityas well as dynamics of developing the problem. In this context, a certain conclusion with limited validity can be easily made and generalized.Dealing with eating disorders thus requires respect to both the nature of the problem that involves the impairment of a basic human need,and the individual, age, and social characteristics of the patient. The article aims at presenting eating disorders as a comprehensible problem,highlighting the important implications in developing it, and outlining the treatment options.
