Eating disorders seem to be an issue often associated with
young women due to the consistent emphasis on maintaining perfect bodies in the
media. However, many aren’t aware of how morbid eating disorders are for the
youth of America- males and females. Numerous scholarly articles state that,
because physicians are failing to identify eating disorders in children, not
only is the economy suffering, but children’s health and cognition are also
negatively being affected. Annual screening for eating disorders must be
incorporated into the annual pediatric check-ups so as to ensure early
identification of pediatric eating disorders.
