Eating Disorders Information and Screening

Some individuals respond to life stressors by adjusting their eating behaviors. For some, food is a source of comfort and calming. For others, restricting food consumption provides a sense of control. Others may alternate between excessive eating and purging behaviors. Still others may focus on food consumption in an attempt to attain the "perfect body." Any of these behaviors can ultimately lead to physical and emotional harm.
