Medical Complications of Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia.

Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are serious psychiatric illnesses related to disordered eating and distorted body images.

No body system is spared from the adverse sequelae of these illnesses, especially as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa become more severe and chronic.

We also discuss the epidemiology and psychiatric comorbidities of these eating disorders.
