Most people are familiar with the term “Eating Disorder,” although many do not realize there is a difference between an actual Eating Disorder, which is a medical diagnosis (illness), and Disordered Eating, which encompasses a much wider range of behavior.  These illnesses and behavior do not discriminate between gender, race, ethnicity, or age, but they continue to be greatly misunderstood, and the people who suffer with them greatly stigmatized.
