Bulimia
The prevalence of bulimia in the United States has grown in the last 30 years. Considered a mental affliction that can be lethal, bulimia is characterized by binge-eating, purging, excessive exercise, and misuse of laxatives and diuretics. Bulimia is both a psychological and a social problem. Causes include conflicted family relationships; traumatic childhood experiences like sexual abuse, alienation, and depression; obsession with thinness; low self-esteem; and even imbalances of chemicals in the brain.
