Anorexia and Bulimia.... What it really is.

Anorexia and bulimia are both life threatening disorders.  These disorders deal with how you look and how a person feels about how much they way.  Some put these disorders under the health part of psychology, when really it could also be under the psychological disorders field of psychology.
With anorexia a person will most likely see themselves as fat and overweight when in reality and to everyone else they are extremely underweight.  This is a perception problem, when someone sees themselves as something that really isn't there.

With anorexia a person will look in the mirror and see someone who is fat, when really they are very skinny.  An anorexic person will have a fear of gaining weight. They will also feel like they are fat with really they are underweight.  They will have a thinning of hair, an irregular heart beat, and  they will feel tired a lot. Anorexic people will literally starve themselves so they can feel like they will be able to fit in with the small people they know.  Sometimes because they don't have much weight on them, they will start to grow hair all over their body.  This hair is soft and downy and not very noticeable.

Bulimia is very different from anorexia.  This disorder is a very secretive thing.  People with bulimia often plan out when they binge and then how they plan on getting rid of the food that they ate.  This can be with vomiting or exercising for hours on end. Other things that come with this are dehydration problems and decaying teeth.  The reason bulimia is so hard to detect is the person is in the normal weight range.
