Yes, it’s possible to experience symptoms of more than one eating disorder at the same time. This is known as having a mixed or unspecified eating disorder. Some people may also transition from one type of eating disorder to another over time. For instance, an individual might initially exhibit signs of anorexia nervosa, like severe food restriction and extreme weight loss and later display symptoms associated with bulimia nervosa, such as binge eating and purging. The complexity of these disorders underscores the importance of seeking professional help for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
