  • Public Health

Background:

  • Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are psychiatric disorders characterized by severe eating disturbances.
  • Prevalence is higher in Western cultures, but increasing globally with Westernization.
  • Eating disorders are rare in India, but may rise with cultural shifts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the characteristics, etiology, complications, and management of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
  • To highlight the role of pediatricians in early diagnosis and management.
  • To discuss the impact of sociocultural factors on eating disorder prevalence.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of eating disorders, focusing on anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
  • Analysis of etiological theories involving psychological, sociocultural, and biological factors.
