A member asked:
Whats the difference between anerexia and bulemia? can a bulemic be as skinny as an anorexic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Being underweight: Anorexia requires that a person be significantly underweight. Often bulimics are normal weight, or even overweight. Both anorexia and bulimia may involve binging and purging, so this does not differentiate the two.
