What is Bulimia Nervosa?
Bulimia is characterised by eating a large amount of food, often secretly, in a short period of time and often in an out of control manner.
Understanding Bulimia Nervosa
This is usually followed by purging through self induced vomiting, laxative use, diuretics or weight loss supplements.
There is a fear of weight gain and anxiety about weight and body shape.
