A member asked:
My sister wanted to lose weight...but she gave herself anorexia! now she cannot stop puking...what do we do?

Depends on: The method by which she gave herself anorexia. It sounds as though she now has bulimia. Curiously enough, bulimia and anorexia are the opposite extremes of the same phenomenon and imply lower brain dysfunction. She needs medical advice.
