There seems to be a lack of modern comprehension and revision on the topic of "Eating Disorder". There are emerging eating disorders such as Orthorexia that are now part of the conversation, speaking debate. While there may be reservations about including them in this topic, they are undeniably real and affecting individuals at present time. There is also improper generalization and wrong use of words that may be insensitive our irrelevant to the actual cause as to why someone has an eating disorder. Someone prior to me brought this concern to the table stating why the use of "stuffing emotions away" was picked as a proper statement for eating disorder.

I agree that more information should be added about other types of eating disorders than the 'big three'- ARFID, OSFED, EDNOS, pica, etc. come to mind. Ju1c3machine ( talk) 22:55, 22 June 2024 (UTC) reply
