Description

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a relationship between eating disorders and co-occurring mental health disorders specifically in people ages 18 to 25. Much research has been conducted on the general correlation between eating disorders and mental health disorders. However, research on the relationship between the two co-occurring disorders is limited, which is why attention on this topic is needed. This study aims to explore the causational relationship between eating disorders and mental health disorders to help with earlier diagnosis and prevent life threatening impacts these disorders may have.
