Detailed explanation-1: -Bulimia (boo-LEE-me-uh) nervosa, commonly called bulimia, is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder. People with bulimia may secretly binge-eating large amounts of food with a loss of control over the eating-and then purge, trying to get rid of the extra calories in an unhealthy way.
Detailed explanation-2: -How Purging Disorder Is Different From Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa. By definition, people with purging disorder do not have the episodes of eating unusually large amounts of food that characterize bulimia nervosa (otherwise, they would meet criteria for bulimia nervosa).
Detailed explanation-3: -Binge-eating/purging type A person with this subtype of anorexia nervosa severely restricts energy intake and has also engaged in recurrent episodes of binge eating or purging behaviour (e.g. self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives) during the past three months.
