The National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) has available a booklet (attached pdf file) that describes eating disorders titled:
Eating Disorders: Facts About Eating Disorders and the Search for Solutions
Eating disorders are not due to a failure of will or behavior; rather, they are real, treatable medical illnesses in which certain maladaptive patterns of eating take on a life of their own
The good news is that eating disorders can be treated and a healthy weight restored.
