•Binge Eating Disorder (BED) is a disorder that causes the person to "eat their feelings". People with BED binge until even after they are full. Much like the other disorders, it's obvious that this can cause many physical health issues.
•Bulimia Nervosa is a disorder that causes the person to eat their feelings like in Binge, but instead of continuing to Binge, the guilt hits them. People with Bulimia will eat and eat and then either throw up, overuse laxatives, etc. In a process known as purging.
•Anorexia Nervosa simply causes the person to not eat, to essentially starve themselves. There are so many good short films on that voice in the back of a person's head with an eating disorder that causes all of this.
•If you are suffering, you're not alone and you can fight this. You don't have to listen, you don't have to give in. Try and take care of yourself, I know it's hard.
SYMPTOMS:
I'm pretty sure that all of the symptoms were made clear, but if you're looking out for someone who's hiding it, notice if they look nervous, anxious, and/or guilty around food.
TREATMENT:
Treatment of eating disorders consists of many things. The most important being support from family members and friends to fight this. These disorders will be very similar to treatment for anxiety. If left untreated, the person would eventually die.
