BULIMIA NERVOSA

Bulimia nervosa is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by a cycle of binging and compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting designed to undo or compensate for the effects of binge eating.
Bulimia Nervosa has three primary symptoms:
* Regular intake of large amounts of food accompanied by a sense of loss of control over eating behavior.
* Regular use of inappropriate compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting, laxative or diuretic abuse, fasting, and/or obsessive or compulsive exercise.
* Extreme concern with body weight and shape.
The chance for recovery increases the earlier bulimia nervosa is detected.
