Bulimia nervosa
Bulimia nervosa or more commonly known as just bulimia
is an eating disorder where there is an intense dread of putting on weight.
Bulimia is most common in teenage girls and young women,
although anyone can develop the illness at any age.
Bulimia is often not noticeable until associated health
problems develop. Symptoms may include:
- episodes of craving for
food and binge eating, after which sufferers can feel guilty and may make
themselves vomit
- feeling of being too fat
and generally dissatisfied with physical appearance
