Answer 1

they are both worst here:

There are many symptoms for anorexia, some individuals may not experience all of they symptoms. The symptoms include: Body weight that is inconsistent with age, build and height (usually 15% below normal weight).

Some other symptoms of anorexia are:

Loss of at least 3 consecutive menstrual periods (in women).
Not wanting or refusing to eat in public
Anxiety
Weakness
Brittle skin
Shortness of breath
Obsessiveness about calorie intake
Medical Consequences of anorexia?

There are many medical risks associated with anorexia. They include: shrunken bones, mineral loss, low body temperature, irregular heartbeat, permanent failure of normal growth, development of osteoporosis and bulimia nervosa.

Some of the most common complications of bulimia are:

Erosion of tooth enamel because of repeated exposure to acidic gastric contents.
Dental cavities, sensitivity to hot or cold food.
Swelling and soreness in the salivary glands (from repeated vomiting).
Stomach Ulcers.
Ruptures of the stomach and esophagus.
Abnormal buildup of fluid in the intestines.
Disruption in the normal bowel release function.
Electrolyte imbalance.
Dehydration
Irregular heartbeat and in severe cases heart attack
A greater risk for suicidal behavior
Decrease in libido

Answer 2

Anorexia because if it gets out of hand, you could potentially die. With bulimia, you have a risk of tearing the tissues in your stomach and throat. On another note, please remember that your family and friends love you and they probably hate to see you do this to your self. Feel better (:

Answer 3

One is just as bad as the other, but bulimia will corrode the body. All that acid coming up from the stomach...it eats the esophagus and throat and especially the teeth. It also makes people's breath stink sooooooooo bad.

Answer 4

It depends on what side effects you think are worse. Anorexics can loose their head hair, and can actually start growing a fine body hair called lanugo (your bodies attempt to conserve body heat). There skin will start to loose elasticity, aging them (lack of protein) and eventually the body will first consume excess muscle and then actually start to consume the organs in an attempt to survive, this can cause heart attack.

Bulimics can destroy the lining of their esophagus and stomach, leading to ulcers and eventually cancer because the tissues are constantly being bathed in stomach acid. They can also loose control of their bowel movements if they abuse laxatives and get to the point where eating anything triggers a gag response. Eventually they will get symptoms like anorexics because they are depriving their body of nutrients.

Answer 5

both are horribly bad
but i'd say bulimia is worse becuase thats the one ive experienced

since you purge ur food out so much not only do you lose drastic amounts of weight but you burn ur esophagus with the stomach acid
that later on lead to ulcers and cancers..... :(
i didnt know that back then

Answer 6

Both suck but I'd have to say anorexia because at least bulimic people eat(they just throw up after) BUT I DO NOT ENCOURAGE EITHER OF THE TWO

Answer 7

They're both equally horrible. Anorexia, however, is the #1 deadliest psychological disease...you be the judge.

Answer 8

Both are really bad.

But I'm going to say anorexia, simply because you are completely depriving your body of nutrients. It can cause heart failure.

Answer 9

Bulimia is worse because it messes up your teeth too.

Answer 10

Both!!! But Bulimia you do . Anorexia is when you can't stop and it becomes routine
