This unit is on eating disorders. Over 35 million people in the US are battling an eating disorder. The most well known eating disorders are anorexia and bulimia, however, more people actually struggle with binge eating disorder.

During this unit, you will be doing reasearch and creating a presentation on different eating disorders, some of which you have never heard of before. Here are your choices:

Anorexia Nervosa Brooke Shelbey Bulimia Nervosa Shelby, Joey Anorexia Athletica Cassey, Amanda E. Body Dysmorphic Disorder Miranda, Brock Binge Eating Disorder Jo'Dedra Seo Yeon Pica Cody, Hayley Rumination Disorder Matt Tyler Gourmand Syndrome Halley Victor Prader-Willi Syndrome Ellie Tara Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome Whitney Devante Orthorexia Nervosa Myriah Kim Muscle Dysmorphic Disorder (Bigorexia) Chelsea, Amanda J. Night-Eating Syndrome Tori, Rachel Chewing and Spitting Darien, Hope

In your research, I want you to find out everything you can about the eating disorder you are assigned. Some things to look for are:

Who gets it? What causes it? How does it start? Symptoms? Treatments? What are the consequences to your body? Recovery? Statistics?

Your presentation will be in the form of a power point with the first slide after the title being 5 questions for the audience to copy and answer while you are presenting. You will also need to list your references on the final page of your power point. Some of the websites that may be helpful are:
