The aim of the study is to study the relationship between adolescents’ (aged 13-17) eating disorders with the level of situational anxiety and anxiety as a personal quality. Pearson rank correlation was used as a method of mathematical statistics. The results obtained by the authors in the course of the study showed a statistically significant correlation between anxiety and eating disorders. The theoretical and practical significance of the study allows psychologists, consultants, as well as to the specialists of the psychological service of secondary educational institutions, to develop an effective program of reducing the high level of anxiety causing adolescents’ eating disorders.
