Eating Disorder? And What Is a General Eating Disorder?

An eating disorder is a mental illness that are about food. Eating disorders are caused by a poor self-image, psychological disability, and other factors.

Of course. Here is the translation of the text about eating disorders:

An eating disorder is a mental illness that can make it difficult to eat enough food.

Eating disorders are caused by a poor self-image, psychological disability, and other factors.

You probably know the popular eating disorders like Anorexia and Bulimia, and because these eating disorders are so popular and well-known, one forgets that the world is bigger than two diagnoses within eating disorders.

With an eating disorder, you are not either thin or malnourished or someone who throws up their food.

In the world we live in, there are more eating disorders and more perspectives on what an eating disorder is.

The diagnosis or definition of a general eating disorder does not exist, but it should exist in my opinion.

My definition of a general eating disorder is an eating disorder that is caused by cognitive difficulties, for example, negative symptoms during schizophrenia.

The eating disorder can also occur during dementia and other cognitive disabilities, where the person with the disorder does not eat enough due to their cognitive challenges, e.g., forgetfulness.

A general eating disorder, in my opinion, has nothing to do with self-image, which is how eating disorders are often portrayed to be about.
