Overview
Historical Perspective
Bulimia is a Greek term that translates to "ravenous hunger". Gerald Russell became the first person to publish a description of bulimia nervosa in 1979.
Pathophysiology
Bulimia is related to deep psychological issues and feelings of lack of control. They may feel a loss of control during a binge, and consume great quantities of food (over 20,000 calories). There are higher rates of eating disorders in groups involved in activities that emphasize thinness and body type, such as gymnastics, dance and cheerleading, figure skating.
Classification
Bulimia nervosa may be classified in to two types on the basis of purging behavior into pruging and non-purging types.
