Session 5: Biology & Medical Risk
Eating disorders are influenced by a complex interaction of biological, genetic, temperamental, psychological, and environmental factors. This session explores what we know about the neurobiology of eating disorders, how malnutrition can affect the brain, mood, and thinking, and why medical complications require careful monitoring and treatment.
