Eating disorders are a serious form of psychiatric illness that has been overlooked in relation to their effect on the physical and mental health of those who suffer from them. Simon and Askew (2010) reported that over 48.6% college students are affected by eating disorders. Additionally, 23% suffer more serious mental illness. Anorexia nervosa (bulimia-nervosa), binge eating disorder and bulimia are all problems that students face, especially at universities and colleges. They can make it difficult for them to succeed academically. Meyer and Leppma (2018) found that college students suffering from eating disorders struggle with mood and mindfulness. Researchers conclude that most college students who have an eating disorder struggle to achieve above-average grades in particular classes. Although mental illness can be the primary reason for emotional and mental instability in college students, it is important to recognize eating disorders. The study examines whether eating disorders are associated with academic or behavioral success. Simone & Askew (2010) found that more than 50% of the children who have eating difficulties are still unknown. These children may have a variety of disorders, which can affect their academic performance or cause deviant behavior. (Brytek–Matera and colleagues 2020). This study aims to examine the link between eating disorders, mental health and academic performance.
