Question

what makes bulimia nervosa different from anorexia?

○ bulimia is not considered a serious mental health issue.

○ people with bulimia eat normally but exercise excessively.

○ bulimia involves cycles of binge eating followed by purging.

○ people with bulimia never worry about their weight.

Explanation:

Bulimia nervosa is a serious mental health disorder. People with bulimia engage in cycles of binge - eating (consuming large amounts of food in a short time) followed by purging (methods like self - induced vomiting, excessive use of laxatives, etc. to get rid of the food). Anorexia nervosa is mainly characterized by restricted food intake leading to significantly low body weight. Excessive exercise is more associated with anorexia in some cases. And people with bulimia do worry about their weight, which is one of the reasons for the binge - purge cycle.

Answer:

Bulimia involves cycles of binge eating followed by purging.
