Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia nervosa, or bulimia, is a complex eating disorder where the individual is caught in a vicious cycle of bingeing and purging. While most people understand the dynamics of binge eating to be consuming large amounts of food and calories over a period of time, the component of bulimia nervosa, referred to a purging is not quite as clear. The concept of purging can take on several different behaviors such as; self induced vomiting, compulsive exercise, laxative abuse, enemas or diuretic abuse. The purging behavior associated with bulimia nervosa is planned to prevent weight gain. You can get help for bulimia nervosa by calling us Now!
