Bulimia nervosa is a serious eating disorder
characterized by cycles of binge eating followed by purging behaviors to
compensate for overeating. People with bulimia often feel a lack of control
during episodes of binge eating and use methods such as vomiting, excessive
exercise, or fasting to rid themselves of the calories consumed. This disorder
can have severe physical and psychological consequences, including electrolyte
imbalances, gastrointestinal problems, dental issues, and depression. It
commonly develops during adolescence or young adulthood and is often
accompanied by feelings of shame and secrecy. Treatment typically involves a
combination of therapy, nutritional counseling, and sometimes medication to
address underlying psychological factors and promote healthier eating
behaviors. Early intervention is crucial for recovery, as bulimia can have
long-lasting effects on both physical and mental health.
