Orthorexia nervosa is often described as an unhealthy obsession with eating healthy or "clean" foods to the extent that it interferes with daily life and overall well-being. Individuals with orthorexia nervosa may become overly concerned with the quality and purity of their food, avoiding certain food groups or ingredients they believe to be unhealthy or impure. This obsession with healthy eating can lead to extreme dietary restrictions, social isolation, and negative impacts on physical and psychological health. While orthorexia nervosa may share some similarities with other eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, it is not currently classified as a distinct mental health disorder. However, it is still important to address concerns about unhealthy eating behaviors and seek support from a healthcare professional if necessary.
