Question

Jessica hardly eats anything. When her family comments that she is too thin and needs to eat something, she refuses to eat and says that her body is covered with fat. She is MOST likely suffering from a(n) _____ disorder.

Answer 1

The correct answer is eating

Eating disorders can be caused by eating habits that cause health damage such as extreme reduction or excessive consumption of food.

Eating disorders are common in adolescence and early adulthood. They are related to a series of psychological consequences, such as anxiety and social pressures for the so-called ‘perfect body’.
