Can you enlighten me about eating disorders .?

in tears my best friend admit that she is forcing vomit everyday , she did liposuction though she has good looking body and she has good heart. do u think she has eating disorder , and why you think she has this problem ?the problem that his lady a survivors ,,,she had been living in war zone for years , and she had been through very circumstances and i cant understand how she let that problem control her .
Answer:
Yes she has an eating disorder! It's called Bulimia - when a person forces themselves to throw up after eating. Most of the people who develop eating disorders like this do it because they feel like they have no control, so they want to have control over something in their life (their weight). This makes a lot of sense in her situation. You should get her some help as soon as possible if you can.
It deffinately is an eating disorder, but depending on how long and how extensive the disorder is she can either help herself or get help from others. Please encourage her to get help, their is no excuse for eating disorders, her circumstances dont cut it. She's just hurting herself more and more.
Yes, if she is forcing herself to throw up then she has an eating disorder. People have eating disorders for many reasons but it sounds as though in your friends situation it is about a "sense" of control and due to stress probably some anxiety and/or depression and possibly PTSD but only a Dr. can diagnose her.
It is very hard to stop on your own and more than often needs intensive treatment. Typically it begins because of overwhelming emotions and continues to get worse. I used to be anorexic but went into a treatment facility and have been receiving long term, intensive therapy. Ultimately, your friend will need to get to the root of what is bothering her emotionally and then gradually she will begin to get healthy but this can take some time. She will need your support. It is very nice of you to be there for her and to be concerned. She can get better with help. She needs to start seeing a Dr. and/or a therapist as soon as possible as the ramifications can be serious illness and even death. I wish the best for her~
