Question 11 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which of the following statements is not considered a common symptom of both anorexia and bulimia?

Answer
A
Individuals with an eating disorder may have a distorted image of themselves.
B
A young woman suffering from an eating disorder may have significant changes to her menstrual cycle.
C
Individuals who have an eating disorder may be extremely fearful of gaining weight.
D
Individuals suffering from an eating disorder will most likely have calluses or sores on their hands.

Explanation

Distorted body image, menstrual changes, and intense fear of gaining weight can occur with both anorexia and bulimia. Calluses or sores on the hands are more specifically associated with bulimia, sometimes caused by using the fingers to induce vomiting, and are not a common symptom of both disorders. Therefore, the statement about hand calluses or sores is the best answer.
