| Hey dude, I'm worried about my sister. I think she has an eating disorder. Can you help me out? Like tell me about the different types and symptoms & signs? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| Yeah, well there is Bulimia Nervosa, Anorexia Nervosa, and Binge eating. Bulimia is when you don't eat a lot and then make yourself throw up. Anorexia is when you eat a bunch of food then throw it up. | |

|
| | |
| And Binge eating is when you eat great amounts of food, even beyond when you're full. you can usually tell if they are struggling with an ED when they don't eat or eat an unusual amount. | |

| Thanks, well my sister has been having a tough time with my parents lately. Just constently getting in fights. Do you think that could have triggered her ED? And how do you think I can help? | |

| | |
| Yes, that could have triggered it. Maybe for them to eventually notice and maybe pay more attention to her. It could also be caused by media, athletics, genetics, body image, and self-esteem. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| You should tell her you care what happens to her. You can also, if it gets really serious, talk to your parents about it and helping her get treatment or help from someone professional. | |
