Dr Victor Kwok, Head & Consultant, Department of Psychiatry, Sengkang Health, shared that an obsession to eat only healthy food or exercising excessively could be signs of orthorexia nervosa. He spoke about the symptoms, possible causes and those at-risk of the eating disorder. Noting that eating disorders cause death more often than the other mental disorders like depression and schizophrenia, Dr Kwok emphasized the importance of raising awareness and holistic treatment.
