57. The Symptoms of Bulimia
In order for people to be diagnosed with bulimia, they must satisfy the following diagnostic criteria:
Display repetitive binge eating episodes, which can consist of:
◦ eating extremely large amounts of food in a specific time period (larger than most individuals would eat in a similar period of time and under the same circumstances) and/or
◦ feeling that they lack control over these eating episodes, such that they are unable to stop eating.
Engage in repetitive behaviors that are designed to compensate for potential weight gain as a result of their binging episodes, such as:
◦ self-induced vomiting
◦ abuse of laxatives
◦ use of other medications to purge
◦ excessive exercise
◦ fasting
Bingeing and compensatory behaviors occur at least on average of once a week for a total minimum period of three months
No diagnosis of anorexia
Self-worth or self-evaluation is based on weight or body size
Bulimia is differentiated from the other major eating disorders that occur in adolescence and adults by the above diagnostic criteria. For example, individuals diagnosed with anorexia may also
binge and purge; however, these individuals have a unhealthy amount of weight loss and a distorted self-image regarding their body size (people with anorexia nervosa can be painfully thin and
still see themselves as being too heavy), whereas an individual diagnosed with bulimia does not display the unhealthy weight loss and does not display the same distorted body image.
