Im doing a project on teen eating disorders. I need to know what is the difference between the two. Bing-Eating/ Compulsive eating, and being Anorexic. I need to know websites to find different types of treatment for the two. Also any information about eating disorders that anybody knows. Thanks.
Binge eating/ Compulsive eating: The person affected will eat multiple amounts of food at a time mostly to cover up powerful emotions such as sadness, depression, anger, even happiness. If the person purgers (whether it’s through vomiting, diuretics, enemas, or exercise) they are classified as bulimic. Bingers normally have a normal or higher bmi than an average person.
Anorexia: The person will prevent themselves from eating or eat very little to maintain a low body weight in hopes of being "beautiful". They will restrict certain foods, pick up certain habits such as chewing then spitting or drinking tons of water before each meal. Anorexics are normally very underweight with a BMI below 18.5.
