What will be an ideal response?
Both anorexia and bulimia tend to emerge in adolescence in individuals who are overly concerned about their body and have a history of dieting. Both are more common in females. Anorexia is a more deadly disorder and is characterized by a persistent refusal to eat and an irrational fear of being overweight. Bulimia is characterized by alternating periods of binging and purging (which can involve use of laxatives or self-induced vomiting). Overprotecting parenting appears to be a risk factor for anorexia while childhood obesity appears to be a risk factor for bulimia.
