Bulimia Nervosa is a form of disordered eating. It is characterized by the intense desire to lose weight. People do this in the form of eating and then purging their food. This is commonly done by inducing vomit or taking a laxative to induce bowel output.

Often time’s individuals will binge on a large amount of food and then purge the food because they experience intense shame or guilt after consumption. Signs and symptoms of this disorder include fearing food, having a preoccupation of body image, severe judgement of self, and going to the restroom after meal times.

Unfortunately this is a common disorder, especially among school-age people. While it may appear to impact mostly women and girls, men and boys are impacted as well. It can have many negative health outcomes including dehydration, heart issues, gum disease, digestive problems, anxiety, and more.
