| Hey Xander. My friend,Tammy, has been loosing a lot of weight and has been starving himself. I think he may have an eating disorder. I know that an ED is a disorder of a normal eating routine. | |

| You are correct. There are different types of EDs too. Such as anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating, exercise addiction, and compulsive over eating. | |

| Well she seems to have low self esteem, and depression. She also seems angry all the time. She is always comparing herself to models in commercials. This is NOT helping her at all. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Yes. These are all triggers to EDs and can contribute negativly to them. All of the media out there is setting examples for women to me thin and beautiful and this is what might have triggered her ED. | |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Ya. Eds also run in her family and hear that it is hereditary or something. So what can I do to help? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Well there are many treatments for EDs. | |
