During adolescence, a couple of health issues that occur include: alcohol and/or substance abuse and eating disorders. Alcohol/substance abuse begins to occur around this stage of development, because teenagers are learning about new and exciting things that they want to try with their friends without knowing the full consequences of their actions. Anorexia nervosa, self-starvation disorder, and bulimia nervosa, binge eating and purging disorder, are the two most common eating disorders (Boyd, 2009). Early adulthood usually involves the deeper health issues; examples are as follows: diabetes and cirrhosis of the liver. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce a sufficient amount of insulin that is needed to function properly. Cirrhosis of the liver is a type of disease from scarring of the liver tissues; alcohol and/or hepatitis are the causes of this
