Stress seems to be one of the main factors for many psychological disorders, including eating disorders. When stressed, a person may tend to seek refuge in food and this may result into eating disorders, right from binge eating to bulimia and anorexia. These however, only heighten the stress level and the person ends up having some more psychological problems. It is best to go to a doctor or seek counseling as soon as one is suspected of having an eating disorder. If you suspect some loved one of being too stressed out and beginning to have an eating disorder, you can read up on the signs of these disorders at http://www.eatingdisorder.com/eating-disorder-symptoms.html?utm_source=answerbag&utm_medium=ru&utm_campaign=eatingdisordersymptoms. If it turns out that the person is indeed having an eating disorder, take him to a counselor without much delay. Leaving an eating disorder untreated can cause many life-threatening complications.
