Types of Eating disorders

Anorexia Nervosa- The person suffering with Anorexia may be abnormally sensitive about being perceived as fat, or have a massive fear of becoming fat.
Bulimia Nervosa- eat a large quantity of food in a relatively short period of time and then use behaviors such as taking laxatives or self-induced vomiting -- because they feel overwhelmed in coping with their emotions, or in order to punish themselves for something they feel they should unrealistically blame themselves for.
Compulsive Overeating- People suffering with Compulsive Overeating have what is characterized as an "addiction" to food, using food and eating as a way to hide from their emotions, to fill a void they feel inside, and to cope with daily stresses and problems in their lives.
Binge Eating Disorder- similar to those of Compulsive Overeating; Using Binges as a way to hide from their emotions, to fill a void they feel inside, and to cope with daily stresses and problems in their lives
