Many of us worry about our weight and try to control what we eat, especially if we're women. But if you dread gaining weight so much that you think about food most of your day, you could have an illness called bulimia. People with bulimia sometimes lose control and eat huge amounts. They then take extreme steps to avoid putting on weight, such as making themselves sick and exercising more than is healthy.
We've brought together the best research about bulimia and weighed up the evidence about how to treat it. You can use our information to talk to your doctor and decide which treatments are best for you.
