Bulimia Nervosa categorised as an eating disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of uncontrollable urges to eat in excess and these urges are followed by an excessive need to unnaturally eliminate the consumed food in order to not gain weight. Some examples of these unnatural ways can be deliberate vomiting, abuse of laxatives and even excessive exercising.
To establish a diagnosis of Bulimia Nervosa, this binging and elimination pattern should occur on an average at least twice a week for a minimum of a period of three months.
