Yes, as a recovering anorexic, I was diagnosed by a specialist with anorexia nervosa with bulimic symptoms. Both anorexia & bulimia get worse if left untreated, eventually leading to cardiac arrest and/or multiple organ failure. Some examples of this are Christy Henrich, Karen Carpenter & Sheena Carpenter. If you think you have an eating disorder it is IMPORTANT that you seek Phsycological help, ASAP! Absolutely. They can both lead to death if left untreated.

∙ 15y agoThere are two types of anorexics: restricting anorexics, and binge eating and purging anorexics. The restricting anorexics obviously are the ones who are picky eaters and mainly starve themselves (fast). The anorexics that binge eat and then purge are also bulimic and more than half of anorexics sometimes turn to bulimia as well.

What is worse anorexia or strep throat?
Anorexia is worse than strep throat, by far. Strep throat is (usually) a short term illness that is treated with medication and a doctor's visit. Anorexia is both a physical and mental illness in which the anorexic person believes they are fat and starves themself and overexercises to lose excessive amounts of weight. Anorexia is not always curable, and severe cases require months on end in a hospital or in an outpatient treatment care center. Anorexia can be a lifelong, deadly disease, while we have developed cures and treatment options for strep throat.

What are the signs that my14 year old daughter may have a eating disorder?
Over time, when teens and pre-teens develop eating disorders, there are many signs that you should keep your eyes peeled for. If your daughter never does sports or any kind of excercise, and you see she is developing a "bony structure" that may be a sign of bullimia or anorexia. At dinner or lunch time, if she cuts up her food or piles it up and talks a lot so she doesnt have to eat, that also may be a sign of anorexia or bullimia. Going to the bathroom after she eats a lot is a sign of bullimia. Additonal signs of an eating disorder are dark circles under her eyes, her clothes look huge on her, and she starts to buy outfits a few sizes below usual. Her grades could drop, and she checks the nutrition facts on everything. When these signs become relevent to your daughters everyday life, then you need to have a mother-to-daughter talk with her in a quiet room where she is free to say anything. Tell her that the decision she is making has a death consequence. Seek therapists or physcologists that can help talk to your daughter and raise her self-esteem.

What should you do if a friend has anorexia?
If a friend has anorexia, firstly do not try and make them eat. It will make them worse, if they want to eat they will. Ask your friend if they have told anybody else (if signs of their anorexia are not showing) and if they have, ask them if they had spoken to a professional about getting help and support. You really do need to push your friend into getting help. He/she will be less likely to succeed knowing that they are not getting full support from their family and friends.
