What is the difference between anorexia and bulimia?
Anorexia and Bulimia are both mental illnesses that have to do with the fear of gaining weight. People with anorexia starve themselves, may ingest laxatives (so they can get rid of what may be left in their stomachs and “look skinnier”) and exercise excessively. Anorexics have a fear of gaining weight, therefore they are afraid of food and refuse to eat.
Bulimics (people with bulimia) “binge eat” and then throw up what they have already eaten. Bulimics may also exercise excessively as well.
