Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by a cycle of binge eating, where individuals consume large amounts of food in a short period, followed by purging behaviors to prevent weight gain. This can include self-induced vomiting, excessive exercise, or misuse of laxatives. People with bulimia often struggle with body image issues and may feel a lack of control over their eating habits. It can have serious physical and emotional health consequences and is often linked to anxiety and depression. Treatment typically involves therapy, nutrition education, and support to promote healthier coping strategies.
