Bulimia

Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating, followed by purgings or other compensatory behaviors, such as fasting or excessive exercise. People with bulimia often have a distorted body image and may feel guilty or ashamed about their eating habits. Treatment for bulimia typically involves a combination of therapy, medication, and nutritional counseling, and may require ongoing support to manage symptoms and prevent relapse.
