Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging, excessive exercise, or fasting. This cycle often stems from a distorted body image, shame, and fear of gaining weight, and it can have severe physical and emotional consequences if not addressed.

Symptoms of bulimia may include:

• Recurrent episodes of binge eating

• Purging behaviors such as vomiting or misuse of laxatives

• Extreme concern with body weight and shape

Eating disorders often exist alongside problems like depression or anxiety.  If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health problems, book a free discovery call with Dr. Doi to create a treatment plan and begin the steps to healing.
