are eating disorders the same as depression?

Posted by lostforwards on November 12, 2004, at 17:59:26

I know they have similar treatments. I don't think all people who are depressed think they're too fat or too skinny. I'd like to know if there is a difference between eating disorders and depression.

Is there something special about an anorexic that makes them see their body as normal? Is the skew in their perception primarily psychological ( as in due to low self-esteem ) or is it a real change in perception of their physical body caused by brain chemistry?
