Answer 1

They're most likely symptoms of bulimia. :)

Answer 2

The answer is Bulimia Nervosa

Explanation:

Bulimia Nervosa is one of the most common eating disorders; this is related to anxiety and body dysmorphia that makes an individual eat compulsively (binge eating) and then look for ways to compensate this, such as taking laxatives or self-induced vomiting. Due to this unhealthy cycle, most patients experience mood swings, dental problems such as damage to tooth enamel, and digestive problems, although they might have a normal body size and weight because in some cases it occurs only through episodes few times a week.

In the case presented, your college's symptoms are symptoms of Bulimia Nervosa because she shows anxiety that makes her eat compulsively; also, after she eats she induces vomiting as a way to purge herself. Besides this, she already shows dental issues but still has a normal body size which are all indicators for Bulimia Nervosa.
