Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterised by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviours such as self-induced vomiting, laxative misuse, or excessive exercise. It often develops during adolescence and can have serious physical and psychological consequences. Treatment typically involves cognitive-behavioural therapy, nutritional counselling, and sometimes medication to address underlying psychological factors and establish healthy eating patterns.
