Eating Disorders & Their Short/Long Term Effects?


Does anyone know the short and long term effects of
eating disorders such as Anorexia, bulimia, etc?
And also, if you can think of any other eating disorders
people struggle with, can you please write the name,
what it is, and short/long term effects?

Thank you all!

There are tons of MIA and Ana sites out there for you to learn from. Long term effects include permanent lose of tooth enamel for MIA. Both can result in organ failure, heart attack, stroke et. There are various types of Ana and MIA (anorexia, bulimia) such as athletic anorexia whee someone will literally exercise for hours every single day.
Electrolytes imbalances which can lead to sudden death are the main worries.
Here is a good site to start with.

Short term is a lot of weight loss..Which will just be gained back later when you eat again..Well, obviously, long term anorexia results in death.

I don't know all that much, but here's what I do know. anorexia can cause your heart to stop... check out Karen Carpenter's story. bulimia can ruin your teeth and esophagus.
Both disorders will hurt the person who is struggling with it as well as all of those around them.

well there is obesity.
- long term- heart attacks, diabetes
-short term- breathing problems, trouble walking long distance

Bulimia:
-long term- after healing large weight gain, inability to take certain medication(also applies to other disorders), sensitive stomach, loss of teeth enamel
-short term- hunger, often tired, passing out, sore throat

many of the above apply to anorexia also
