Body Dysmorphia is what is commonly referred to as a "distorted body image." It often leads to Anorexia Nervosa (self-starvation) or Bulimia (binge-purge). Bulimics starve themselves for a time, then binge on huge quantities followed by self-induced vomiting. The acid from their vomiting eventually erodes/eats the enamel on their teeth, their gums and their esophagus. Fatal bleeding can result from this.
