AI overview
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder in which a person repeatedly eats large amounts of food in a short period and then tries to undo the effects—often by vomiting, using laxatives, or exercising excessively—to prevent weight gain. It matters because this cycle can cause serious physical health problems and psychological distress, making it a condition that benefits from professional treatment.
