Eating disorders can either be eating too much or eating too little. This can affect the physical or mental health of someone who is suffering from an eating disorder or an addiction to diet pills.
The three major types of eating disorders are Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge-Eating. With Anorexia the person effected has a below average or very low body weight. They will look boney and very sickly looking and sometime cover this up by wearing baggy clothing or multiple layers of clothes.
The next is Bulimia eating disorder and this one when someone eats their food normally but will than induce vomiting on themselves so that they don't gain any weight. This is a harder one to notice as the person will appear to eat as anyone else would but than in the secrecy of the restroom will usually stick their finger down their throat to self-induce a vomit. This vomit will expel any food from the stomach and in return cause the person to not gain weight. This is bad though because the constant vomiting of stomach acid can cause esophagus cancer or rot out the teeth.
The third eating disorder is Binge-Eating or sometimes known as Compulsive Overeating is when the effected person will eats to the point that they almost cannot breath. They will most likely appear to be overweight but will not tell anyone of their problem. The Binge-eating disorder is most often done in secret. The Binger will eat very fast and will make sure they eat everything in front of them. They will not leave anything behind as they feel a strong need to consume all food. They will hide food in places that you normally wouldn't put food just so they can have it for later.
All of these eating disorders are considered additions and if you have them of know someone who does please seek medical advice immediately.
