An eating disorder is a mental health condition where the control of food is used to cope with feelings and other situations.

Unhealthy eating behaviours may include eating too much or too little or worrying about weight or body shape.   Anyone can get an eating disorder, but teenagers between 13 and 17 are mostly affected.   

Pershore High School policy is to recommend that an appointment with a GP is arranged as soon as possible.
