• How does bulimia nervosa differ from anorexia nervosa?
• Anorexia nervosa is refusal to maintain body weight at a minimum level for age and height or failure to gain weight during a period of growth, resulting in body weight less than 85% of what is expected. The person has an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though the person is underweight. The person may have a persistent inability to recognize the seriousness of the very low body weight and extreme weight loss. Some types of anorexia nervosa involve periods of binging and purging behaviors.
• Bulimia is characterized by recurrent periods of binge eating and recurrent, inappropriate behaviors to prevent weight gain (such as self-induced vomiting; use of laxatives, enemas, and diuretics to lose weight; fasting; or excessive exercise). This cycle occurs, on average, at least once a week for 3 months.
