Patients with anorexia nervosa, bulimia or binge eating represent a very large and intrinsically differentiated group with distinct comorbidity
as well as dynamics of developing the problem. In this context, a certain conclusion with limited validity can be easily made
and generalized. Dealing with eating disorders thus requires respect to both the nature of the problem that involves the impairment
of a basic human need, and the individual, age, and social characteristics of the patient. The article aims at presenting eating disorders
as a comprehensible problem, highlighting the important implications in developing it, and outlining the treatment options.
