Bulimia also called bulimia nervosa in broad

which can then lead to excessive reactions such
as deliberate vomiting or purging, crash dieting
and even excessive exercising.
The common result is a lifestyle in a cycle
of bingeing and purging.

• The purging type: regularly engages in self-
induced vomiting or the misuse of laxatives,
