Right now I'm doing a research paper on Anorexia and bulimia. What I need to know for my paper is the History of these disorder like when it as identified as a disorder and the history of the person that identified anorexia and bulimia as psychological disorder? For the most part everything that I have come across on the internet doesn't get details about this person. All that I could find was that a Mr. Ernest Lasegue from the university of Paris identified it as a disorder. Please help!

Thank you Yvonne Miranda aspiring psychologist
