Both anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are eating disorders due to an unhealthy view of the body.
Ones who suffer from Anorexia nervosa starve themselves due to an unhealthy view of the body no matter how thin they are to others when they look in the mirror they see fat, and usually happen to middle class woman, but has also been reported that males suffer from the disease also.
Bulimia is also an unhealthy view of body size, but a person afflicted with it will eat a ton of food and then purge it from their system. Both illnesses become an obsessive psychological disorder with very serious physical and mental consequences..Like anorectics. Bulimics have a distorted body image, are obsessed with their body weight, and have a tremendous fear of becoming fat.
