The most common types of eating disorders include anorexia (starving oneself or eating as little as possible), athletica (compulsive exercising), bulimia (binge eating followed by self-induced vomiting or abuse of laxatives) or eating disorders not otherwise specific (EDNOS), which is an eating disorder that does not meet the full criteria of anorexia or bulimia. Eating disorders are often a way of coping with problems a person finds too painful or difficult to deal with directly.
