An eating disorder is when an individual has a disturbance in their eating behaviors and habits that stems from a tremendous fear of gaining weight. This involves the self-perception of being overweight. Anorexia Nervosa is an intense fear of being overweight along with an obsession of their body weight. These individuals restrict food causing major weight loss. Bulimia Nervosa is the fear of being overweight even though the individual is within the normal range. These individuals take part in binging then purging. Binge Eating Disorder is when an individual has binging episodes, but unlike bulimia, they do not purge after. This tends to be seen in clients with an "obese" BMI (Morin, 2023).
