Question

Describe the similarities and differ- ences between bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder.

Answer 1

Both bulimics and those who suffer from binge-eating disorder will binge eat. This means that they consume large amounts of foods, typically unhealthy or "junk" foods, in a relatively short amount of time. The difference is that bulimics will later purge the food, and those with B-E.D usually will not.
