Fish can not be overfed. They stop eating when they have had enough. What is meant by "overfeeding" is putting more food in a tank than a fish can eat. If this food is left in the tank, it will go rotten and poison the water. That poison is what kills the fish. If you follow the rules your fish should never get sick. The basic rules for keeping fish successfully are :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water. :- Every tank needs a permanently running cycled filter. :- Every tank need at least 50% of its water replaced every week.. If you follow the above rules and keep your Betta at around 78F your fish will stand a chance of surviving. If you fail in any of them I can guarantee that your fish will be constantly getting sick.
