1. Anorexia nervosa: An eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, distorted body image, and severe restriction of food intake, leading to extreme weight loss and sometimes life-threatening health complications.
2. Bulimia nervosa: An eating disorder characterized by recurring episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, or misuse of laxatives or diuretics, often accompanied by feelings of guilt, shame, and loss of control.
3. Binge eating disorder: An eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of uncontrollable overeating, rapid consumption of large amounts of food within a short period, often accompanied by feelings of distress, embarrassment, and lack of control. Unlike bulimia, binge eating episodes are not followed by compensatory behaviors.
1. Anorexia Nervosa: This eating disorder is characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. Individuals with anorexia nervosa severely restrict their food intake, leading to extreme weight loss.
2. Bulimia Nervosa: Bulimia nervosa involves recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging (self-induced vomiting), fasting, or excessive exercise to prevent weight gain. Individuals with bulimia nervosa often have a normal body weight.
3. Binge Eating Disorder (BED): BED involves recurring episodes of eating large amounts of food within a short period of time, accompanied by a feeling of loss of control. Unlike bulimia nervosa, individuals with BED do not engage in compensatory behaviors, leading to significant weight gain.
