Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia nervosa is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating combined with a perceived loss of control and followed by regular compensatory behaviors (purging) to prevent weight gain. These compensatory behaviors may include self-induced vomiting, fasting, excessive exercise and misuse of laxatives, diuretics or other medications. Bulimia is often a very secretive disorder and difficult to diagnose because individuals with the disorder can appear to be healthy.
