Captions available

The idea

An eating disorder is a recognized medical condition in which the regulation of energy intake is disrupted, per Bio 2807 — a disorder of a control system, not a choice.

In practice

Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa disrupt intake regulation in different, medically distinct ways.
