Orthorexia nervosa is a relatively new condition that involves an unhealthy preoccupation with healthy eating. People with orthorexia may restrict their diets, follow rigid eating patterns, and avoid entire food groups, sometimes to the point of malnutrition. Unlike other eating disorders, orthorexia is not recognized as a specific diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), but it is gaining recognition among healthcare professionals.
