The three major types of eating disorders
are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa,
and binge-eating disorder. While they
are still other eating disorders, these
three steal the spotlight. Eating
disorders are characterized
abnormal eating habits. It’s not
uncommon for eating disorders
to be deemed as attention-
seeking tactics every time the topic
is brought up. There are endless
misconceptions surrounding the
idea that patients are keeping an
intense watch on their weight so
that they can earn compliments from
others or that they are just calling
themselves fat in order for people to
correct them on it. Truth to be told,
these are nothing but rude and
ignorant assumptions about eating
disorders. To emphasize the point
of this zine, these are
psychological disorders meaning
there is something wrong in a
person’s brain chemistry,
therefore patients’ actions
can’t be explained using
common sense.
