Eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, are serious mental health disorders that can lead to a number of physical and mental health complications. People who suffer from eating disorders are at risk for a variety of illnesses, some of which can be life-threatening.

The most common physical health complications of eating disorders include nutritional deficiencies, electrolyte imbalances, and cardiac arrhythmias. Nutritional deficiencies, such as iron-deficiency anemia, can lead to fatigue, listlessness, and dizziness. Electrolyte imbalances, such as low potassium levels, can cause irregular heart rhythms, which can be life-threatening if not treated. Cardiac arrhythmias can also be caused by anorexia nervosa, and can lead to sudden cardiac death.

In addition to physical health complications, people with eating disorders are at risk for mental health issues as well. Anxiety and depression are common in people with eating disorders, and can lead to social isolation and withdrawal. People with eating disorders may also experience distorted body image, which can lead to a lack of self-esteem and difficulty forming relationships.

In addition to these mental health issues, people with eating disorders are also at risk for developing substance abuse disorders. People with eating disorders may turn to drugs or alcohol in an attempt to cope with their emotions, leading to addiction.
