Not the only one.
There are many types of eating disorders besides anorexia. Some are more harmful than others but they all cause serious damage to the mind and body. Other eating disorders include bulimia nervosa, binge eating, anorexia athletica, over exercise, over eating, night eating, orthorexia, and EDNOS. Bulimia nervosa is when someone eats a large amount of food in a small frame of time. Binge eating is when someone goes through periods of eating until they are uncomfortably full. Anorexia athletica is when someone isn't enjoying exercise, but does it anyway. Over exercise is when someone's life is scheduled around exercising. Over eating is the obsessive consumption of food. Night eating is when someone doesn't eat during the day, but consumes a large amount of food at night. Orthorexia is the fixation of eating proper food. EDNOS or eating disorders not otherwise specified is when someone is stuggling with eating disorder thoughts or actions but does not have the symptoms of bulimia or anorexia.
