Eating disorders are a type of disorder, to which too little attention was devoted for too long.

In the USA 1-2 % of teenage girls suffer from anorexia nervosa and 2-4% from bulima nervosa, which is 1-2 million children afflicted with bulimia in the USA. The data from all the researches so far agrees that the average age of anorexia is 14, while bulimia occurs somewhat later.
