What are the different types of eating disorders?
Of the two specifics types, the first one is anorexia nervosa. That's typically categorized by a desire to be thin and with that comes a pretty extreme calorie restriction. Then, there is the second type and that is bulimia nervosa. Bulimia tends to be something where somebody might overeat. They might eat a really excessive amount of calories in a short amount of time and then they have to get rid of those calories via some sort of purge. Purging comes in many ways, shapes and forms. A lot of times people think of purging as vomiting and that's the only way, but there's also over-exercise, use of laxatives, diuretics and other things like that.
