- This video describes the differences between Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. Both of these disorders are serious mental health conditions that necessitate mental health and medical treatment. Anorexia Nervosa is characterized by a fear of weight gain, disturbed body image, and restricted intake or the presence of a binge/purge cycle. Bulimia Nervosa is characterized by the presence of a binge/purge cycle. Individuals with Anorexia Nervosa have lower-than-normal body weight, with the severity of the disorder determined by BMI. Individuals with Bulimia Nervosa have normal body weight, with the severity of the disorder determined how many times in a week a purging episode occurs. Purging is an attempt to lose weight by vomiting, using laxatives, using diuretics, fasting, or excessive exercise.
It isn’t about the weight. Not really. It is, but only on the top layer. You feel like things in your life are spiraling out of control and managing your own body is within the grasp of what you perceive you have control over. Oh how we trick ourselves. There’s almost a high you get after a purge, like your head is more clear so you can focus on solving ‘whatever’ triggered you. It’s all smoke and mirrors and so hard to get out of the cycle.
I was diagnosed with anorexia back when I was in 5th grade when I thought I was fat because I had friends who were shorter and skinnier and you could see thier colar bones and you could not see mine so I decided to diet and restrict and exercise every hour or so. But I expected my self for who I am and I dont 100 percent love my body but its getting there.
I got an answer wrong on one of my coding test for these disorders. Now it is a bit clearer. Thanks
Thank you for sharing this video. I am currently researching Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and PICA for my class in college. This has been highly informative. You did a great job explaining the difference between both. The world learns, when the world teaches.
Thank you!! your videos are really informative! they help me with my studies.
Would you be interested in doing a video about anorexia and narcissism? The internet thinks a youtuber named Eugenia Cooney, who is dangerously thin, is addicted to the shock she causes others when they see her, which is why she shows her body so much. I think many could benefit from a better explaination. Plus, there isn’t much awareness to begin with for anorexics, unless they are the most extreme case.
Just a thought.
Interesting topic idea - let me see what I can find out on this - thanks for the idea!

Thank you much!
I appreciate the work you put in on your channel, thanks again.
Her mother plays a role in this too allowing her daughter to do that. She’s a narcissist and part of her problem. I’m glad that Eugenia seems to do better now.
I’m so glad she’s actually getting help now and admitting that she has an ed
Thank you. I have relapsed on bulimia and I'm so scared. Not really sure what to do, my body image is bad.
I have a question. Well, I eat normally at breakfast and lunch but when it comes to dinner I tend to not be able to bring myself to eat. I never vomit my food and I'm also not afraid of get being fat. I think my problem is stress related. I don't know what this is called though.
I don't eat breakfast or dinner but I fast a lot and when I get home after not eating all day which is everyday I always binge sometimes purge it's gotten worse now
@@Lily083 Oh cutey...Lets get better together💜😘
I have the first two symptoms of bulimia. When I look in the mirror I see a reflection of a fat person. Then I great a large amount of food. I haven't experienced the 3rd stage yet but who knows?
I dont voimet. I just don't craive food/eating.
Like rarely I do eat, but in small portions.
I almost have anorexia! 1 kg to go! 😁

Strange to be happy about this...
