Bulimia is an eating disorder that can have serious consequences on the health and quality of sufferers lives. The symptoms are clear and recognizable.
Bulimia is characterized by binge eating that is often repeated.
There are two subtypes of bulimia: that with purging and that without purging. The symptoms of the first type include the induction of vomiting or the use of coercive forms of elimination of the ingested food. In the second case we resort to fasting, or a lot of physical activities to try to dispose of surplus food, but do not take the strategies envisaged in the first case.
