Are there some people who just have anorexia on its own, others that have just body dysmorphic disorder, and others who have both?

It is a matter of: degree. People with anorexia have distorted body images. Often they are very thin and see themselves as fat. With body dysmorphic syndrome their self image is even more distorted and difficult to change.
