Understanding Bulimia Nervosa and binge-eating
What is Bulimia Nervosa?
As well as binge-eating, suffers of Bulimia Nervosa go to great lengths to make up for overeating. Prolonged fasting, excessive exercising, self-induced vomiting and the taking of unnecessary laxatives are all symptoms of the illness.
What is binge-eating?
Almost everyone at some time or other overeats, and lots of people feel a little guilty and ashamed when they do. Such episodes and feelings are very common, perfectly "normal" and not a source of concern.
However, other people may experience distressing episodes of excessive overeating known as "binge-eating", and feel deep shame and remorse as a result of "losing control".
