There are three types of eating disorders. The most common eating disorder talked about is anorexia. Numerous studies have been conducted on anorexia. Anorexia is when a person will not eat because they feel they are overweight or even ugly. All eating disorders have obsessive behavior. Bulimia, as one of the eating disorders is where the individual will eat and act as though things are normal. Unfortunately they will then induce vomiting when out of sight.

The last type of the eating disorders is binging eating. This disorder causes the person to overeat. This person cannot stop overeating then they feel guilty about it, which causes more overeating. Binge eating disorders are different from having the occasional binge on food, like at Halloween eating candy.
