Bulimia nervosa is a mental health condition that involves episodes of eating large quantities of food (binging) and feeling of a lack of control over the eating. These binging episodes are then followed by purging through compensatory behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting, inappropriate use of laxatives, fasting, and/or over-exercising.
Bulimia nervosa is a mental health condition that involves episodes of eating large quantities of food (binging) and feeling of a lack of control over the eating. These binging episodes are then followed by purging through compensatory behaviors, such as self-induced vomiting, inappropriate use of laxatives, fasting, and/or over-exercising. People with bulimia nervosa may be underweight, a normal weight, or overweight.
It’s important that people with bulimia nervosa receive evidence-based treatment from a trained mental health professional as early as possible. In therapy, individuals with bulimia nervosa might focus on reducing compensatory behaviors, learning to identify unhelpful thinking patterns or beliefs, and developing more helpful and accurate perspectives.
