Eating disorders date back to as far as 700 B.C (Engel, 2007), so the concept of eating disorders is not a new one. Over the past century an adolescent’s view of their bodies has been distorted to the point where in this day and age eating disorders are more prevalent. The first case of anorexia was studied in 1689,by a physician names Richard Morton (Gordon, 2000). Anorexia was characterized by the refusal to maintain a particular body weight at the minimum normal weight for a person’s age and height coupled with an intense fear of weight gain and distorted body image (Vogler, 1993). Bulimia is a form of binge eating that dates back as far as 400-500 9A.D, where ancient Egyptian physicians recommended periodical purgation as a health practice after consumption of large meals (Gordon, 2000). Bulimia is a disorder characterized by the rapid consumption of food followed by an attempt to purge the body of the food via vomiting. Binge eating disorder in 1994 was introduced as a disorder by the American Psychiatric Association as a mental disorder (Myers, 2014). It is characterized by excessive consumption at an unhealthy rate which causes obesity (Gordon, 2000). Through research it has been proven to cause recurrent behaviors such as vomiting, use of diuretics and laxatives, and excessive exercise to compensate for the intake of the calories. In the journal Myers stated, “It has been estimated that between 0.7%and 4.0% of the general population suffers from BED (Latner & Clyne, 2008). BED is associated with comorbid psychiatric disorders, health problems, and obesity” (Myers, 2014). Eating disorders are not a new concept and have been around for centuries and will remain unless something is done about it.
