What are some eating disorders and how do they affect people?
↠Anorexia Nervosa
Usually people that suffer from this type of eating disorder have extreme concerns about their weight, they develop an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat beyond what is normal and deliberately maintain a very low body weight despite potential health consequences. People with anorexia often desire to lose weight and to be thin. Although people with anorexia are usually underweight, they generally believe that they are "fat".
↠Bulimia Nervosa
Usually people who suffer from this type of eating disorder have repeated episodes of binge eating, starving themselves and intentionally making themselves vomit. Due to the emotional shame, guilt and disgust a person with bulimia nervosa often feels, bingeing and purging are often done in secret and the evidence of these behaviors can be hidden for months on end.
↠Binge Eating Disorder
Usually people who suffer from this type of eating disorder have uncontrollable and excessive eating, followed by feelings of shame and guilt. Unlike those with bulimia, people with the binge-eating disorder typically do not purge their food. Many of those with Bulimia do usually suffer from this disorder as well.
