Whats the difference between the binge-purge type of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa?
Anorexia is when you sont eat anything or maybe just eat an apple a day but mostly you are starving yourself. Bulimia is the scientific name for binging and purging. You intake more calories in one sitting then anyone should be eatting in a day, and before it sets you make your self throw up. Usually the person is also abusing laxitives so they can eat as much as they want but get rid of ot before the calories set in. One physical symptom of bulimia is rotting teeth because the stomach acid (from puking) sits on the persons teeth constantly.
