Bulimia and anorexia: The main subtypes of eating disorders are bulimia (usually periods of overeating followed by periods of restricting or vomiting to avoid weight gain, generally associated with normal or slightly increased weight) and anorexia (excessive exercise, and food restriction in order to avoid weight gain, often despite plenty of evidence that the person is in fact underweight).
