Orthorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that was first discovered in 1997 by Dr. Steven Bratman. Dr. Bratman defines orthorexia as an unhealthy obsession with healthy foods.
Those who have an âunhealthy obsessionâ with otherwise healthy eating may be suffering from âorthorexia nervosa,â a term which literally means âfixation on righteous eating.â Orthorexia starts out as an innocent attempt to eat more healthfully, but orthorexics become fixated on food quality and purity.rthorexia appears to be motivated by health, but there are underlying motivations, which can include safety from poor health, compulsion for complete control, escape from fears, wanting to be thin, improving self-esteem, searching for spirituality through food, and using food to create an identity.
