Types of Eating Disorders

Brain Health Bootcamp

This educational video provides a concise clinical overview of the three most common eating disorders: Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge-Eating Disorder. Through clear narration and visual aids, it defines each condition by outlining their specific behavioral patterns, psychological symptoms, and diagnostic criteria. The content explores critical themes regarding mental health and body image, specifically highlighting the distinction between physical appearance and mental state. It covers the dangerous physical side effects of these disorders, such as organ failure and dental erosion, and addresses the 'cycle of guilt' often associated with binging behaviors. For health educators and psychology teachers, this video serves as an excellent foundational resource. It helps correct common misconceptions—such as the belief that all sufferers are underweight—and provides students with specific vocabulary to discuss mental health issues responsibly. The clear segmentation makes it easy to compare and contrast the different disorders during classroom instruction.
