Bulimia
What are the Signs and Symptoms of Bulimia?
Despite a bulimic’s efforts to conceal the symptoms of an eating disorder, certain warning signs of bulimia are typically visible:
- Depression
- Social isolation
- Having a distorted, excessively negative body image
- Preoccupation with body shape and weight
A person suffering from bulimia engages in episodes of bingeing and purging, and often referred to as binge-purge cycles.
During binges, a person will eat a large amount of food, most often in private.
