Bulimia Nervosa

Boca Raton Bulimia Nervosa Therapist

Bulimia nervosa is a type of eating disorder that is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating that are followed by behaviors that are meant to prevent any weight from being gained as a result of the binge. Some behaviors one might experience include self-induced vomiting, excessively exercising, fasting, or abusing laxatives, diuretics, or other types of medications that promote weight loss. Individuals who are suffering from bulimia are also frequently plagued by preoccupations with their weight and body shape, which often result in a significant amount of distress that impacts their engagement in the binging and purging behaviors.
