What are the long term effects of eating disorders ?


such as anorexia, bulimia, and overeating.

Anorexia- grow excess body hair all over the body (lack of fat to warm body up) you get cold easier, completely quit menistration or just get thrown off schedule

Bulimia- tooth enamal gets warn down, puffy inflamed throat, messed up esophogus, stomache problems and even diarrhea from overuse of laxatives

Overeating (chronic binge)- see all effects of obesity including diebetes

Over excercising (forgot official term)- sprained/injured limbs from excercising too much, dizziness, lightheadedness and so on

Those are just a few side effects not all of them but no amount of weight loss is worth the side effects of the disorders

obviously death is the worst case scenario. if the disorder starts in puberty it can permanently alter the function of the endocrine system causing various illnesses for the lifespan.

personally I have several friends from high school that suffered from various eating disorders. today some 20 years later some of them suffer from depression so severely and are so heavily medicated they can not maintain employment or any type of relationship.
