Anorexia vs. Obesity

Anorexia and Obesity are both a disease and involve very unhealthy dietary choices. However, they are complete opposites. One is about being way too skinny and the other is about being way to fat. These are very unhealthy eating disorders.

Anorexia is not only a eating dissorder, but psychological disorder. Obesity is a genetic disease.
With anorexia people usually start dieting and are quite successful, but then they can't stop. This is similar to obesity in the sense that, with obesity people start eating and can't stop. With obesity being genetic, it is easy to understand that in some situtations a person can't help it.

Symptoms:
Anorexia- depression, fatigue, OCD with or pertaining to food, drastic weight loss, etc.
obesity- extreme weight gain, constant eating, etc.
