1. Eating Disorders
UNIT 1 NOTES

2. Hilary Duff
"I was too thin," Duff told PEOPLE. "That was not a healthy place for me. I was so unhappy. I remember my hands cramping because I wasn't getting enough nutrients.”

3. Candace Cameron Bure
"I sat lonely so many nights not knowing what to do with myself. But there was always one friend that was always there, that was so readily available anytime I wanted, and that for me was food." She fell into a cycle of binging and purging that continued on-and-off for years. "It was never about the weight for me," she told PEOPLE. "It was an emotional issue."

4. Zayn Malik
"Something I've never talked about in public before, but which I have come to terms with since leaving the band, is that I was suffering from an eating disorder," he wrote. "It wasn't as though I had any concerns about my weight or anything like that, I'd just go for days — sometimes two or three days straight — without eating anything at all. It got quite serious, although at the time I didn’t recognize it for what it was."

5. Ke$ha
"There was a lot of not eating – and I started to think being hungry to the point of feeling almost faint was a positive thing," she said. "The worse it got, the more positive feedback I was getting. Inside I was really unhappy, but outside, people were like, 'Wow, you look great.’”

6. Demi Lovato
"I'd be lying if I said there weren't days where I just want to stay in bed all day because I'm ashamed of my body," she told PEOPLE shortly after leaving the facility. "It's a struggle I'll probably have to deal with for the rest of my life. But I have so much life to live; I don't want to waste it."

In the US, 20 million women and 10 million men suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time in their life
A review of nearly 50 years of research confirms that anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder
Purging is the release of food by self-induced vomiting, laxative abuse or compulsive exercising after compulsive eating.
Purging is not always used to lose weight. It is sometimes used as punishment or for control
