Hi! I'm really looking forward to see the final product of your wiki page. It's a topic I'm really interested in, and I think you have a great foundation, especially with acknowledgement of eating disorders beyond the ones people immediately think of. Some other things you could consider adding would be to mention that people can be both Anorexic and Bulimic, or suffer from other combinations of eating disorders, as I think that's a point that many people don't realize or would be confused by. For the health effects, you could consider addressing the effects that are specific to certain eating disorders (i.e. tooth decay, esophageal varices with bulimia; hair loss, etc.). Another common issue in the research and misconceptions around eating disorders is the focus on it as only effecting women. While this is an issue more heavily effecting women, the discussion surrounding it often alienates men, which is problematic, so could be an interesting point for inclusion.

As for treatment, there is a great resource in Vancouver called The Looking Glass Foundation. Their website offers some resources regarding eating disorders and treatment, if you wanted to take a look. Good luck, I think you'll have a great wiki page!
