Anorexia is an eating disorder characterized by compulsive, chronic self-starvation with a refusal to maintain a normal body weight.• What are the warning signs of anorexia?

They diet and exercise excessively, feel bloated, fat, or nauseated from eating even small amounts of food; and they see themselves as fat when they are truly too thin. • What are some of the effects and symptoms of anorexia? • Damages the brain and nerves, causing disordered thinking, extreme forgetfulness, seizures, moodiness, irritability, and dizziness• Destroys their heart, kidneys, hair, blood fluid, intestines, muscles, joints, bones, hormones, teeth, and may even cause infertility. • Causes anxiety, depression, suicide, insomnia, and often causes those with anorexia to have a distorted view themselves (seeing themselves as fat even though they are "skin and bones") What is Bulimia?Bulimia is a psychological eating disorder characterized by repeated or sporadic "binge and purge" episodes. Bingeing involves eating large amounts of food in any setting in a short amount of time. Purging may be done by the intentional vomiting of food or by the use of laxatives and diuretics.• What are the warning signs of bulimia? People who are bulimic cope with emotional stress through overeating and then feel terrible afterward. They practice self-induced vomiting after eating. They often suffer from general depression; exercise excessively; and base self-worth on personal performance.• What are some of the effects and symptoms of bulimia? • Damages kidney, brain, lungs, and other vital organs. • Deteriorates teeth, esophagus, and stomach due to purging.
