Bulimia Nervosa
What is it?
Bulimia Nervosa is a very serious eating disorder where an individual overeats and then purges their food to maintain their weight. The purging includes but isn’t limited to; self-induced vomiting, the abuse of laxatives and/or diuretics, over exercise and spitting.
Those suffering from Bulimia Nervosa feel like they have no control over their eating habits and can be combined with body dysmorphia (the inability to see your own body objectively). The individual will become obsessed with losing weight, thus repeating the cycle of overeating and purging at the expense of their health.
