Best Answer

Eating disorders are mostly psychological. The two main eating disorders are anorexia, when a person eats very small amounts of food and thinks they're overweight when they really aren't, and bulimia, when a person over eats and then tries to make up for it by throwing up. If this is happening to talk to a doctor, and most importantly, your parents.
