Bulimia, or bulimia nervosa, is an eating disorder that involves binge eating followed by purging or other methods used to avoid weight gain. This can have serious negative effects on your physical and emotional health, leading to issues like fatigue, mood swings, and depression.
If you or a loved one are dealing with bulimia, know that there are options. Therapy can help change the thought patterns leading to binging and purging behaviors, while medication and nutritional education can also help.
