Bulimia nervosa is a type of eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating, followed by purgings or other compensatory behaviors, such as fasting or excessive exercise. In addition to the physical symptoms associated with the disorder, such as weight fluctuations and digestive problems, people with bulimia nervosa often experience negative emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety.
Treatment for bulimia nervosa typically involves a combination of therapy, medication, and nutritional counseling, and may require ongoing support to manage symptoms and prevent relapse.
