abstract
Eating disorders represent important problem particularly among adolescent girls. Early onset of eating disorder represents risk factor for somatic, psychological, and social development. The length of the period between the occurrence of symptoms and initiation of therapy has significant impact on the prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to raise adequate awareness in non-medical circles. There are two types of preventive measures: general and specific. The more general one focuses on the family functioning, and developmental issues. The more specific prevention measures focus on positive relationship to individual’s own body and on diets. De-stigmatization of people suffering from eating disorder who are already in psychiatric and psychological treatment also requires special attention.
