Bulimia Nervosa disorder

Bulimia Nervosa is a pattern of binge eating and purging, in which the bulimic view themselves as unable to control their eating, and feel guilty and angry after binging. Nearly 90% of bulimics engage in self-induced vomiting after binging, although this is not a requirement for a person to be diagnosed with this disorder. They can also be diagnosed if they engage in any inappropriate weight control method such as misuse of laxatives, taking diuretics, fasting, use of enemas, or excessive exercise. Bulimics, through binging or weight control measures, can vary their body weight up to 10 pounds per day.
