The most known eating disorders are:
Anorexia nervosa
Is a potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by
an abnormally low body weight, intense fear of gaining weight,
and a distorted perception of weight or shape. People with
anorexia use extreme efforts to control their weight and shape,
which often significantly interferes with their health and life
activities. I can also reach the point of self starvation.

2. Bulimianervosa
Is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder. When
you have bulimia, you have episodes of bingeing and purging
that involve feeling a lack of control over your eating. Many
people with bulimia also restrict their eating during the day,
which often leads to more binge eating and purging.
During these episodes, you typically eat a large amount of food
in a short time, and then try to rid yourself of the extra calories
in an unhealthy way. Because of guilt, shame and an intense
fear of weight gain from overeating, you may force vomiting
(purging bulimia), exercise too much, or use other methods,
such as laxatives, to get rid of the calories (nonpurging bulimia).
If you have bulimia, you're probably preoccupied with your
weight and body shape, and may judge yourself severely and
harshly for your self-perceived flaws. You may be at a normal
weight or even a bit overweight.
Binge-eating disorder
When you have binge-eating disorder, you regularly eat too
much food (binge) and feel a lack of control over your eating.
You may eat quickly or eat more food than intended, even
when you're not hungry, and you may continue eating even
long after you're uncomfortably full.

them life-threatening. The more severe or long lasting the
