Anorexia Nervosa - since that person is not eating a nutritious diet.
Maybe Body Dysmorphic Disorder - where that person feels like he/she is fat and eats soap to lose weight and obtain a slimmer form.

If its a child whos eating soap its more then likely that he or she is missing something in their body but on the other hand if its a adult its more likely to be under the catagory of compulsive habits.I hope this was helpful.

people that eats soap is trying to get sick so they can through up.
it's a part of being bulimic,it's the mind once again.
they will do anything to make them selves not to gain weight.

Not a mental problem dear, but a physical one. Maybe some empathy on your part would be nice.

Could be something called pica, in which a person consumes non-nutritious items.
