A member asked:
How bad is being bilimic, compared to other mental illnesses? how curable is a bilimic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bulimia is harmful: Many physical problems result from the purging aspect of bulimia: e.g., electrolyte imbalances, gastrointestinal problems, and oral and tooth-related problems. As with all mental disorders, early treatment is much preferred. It is curable, but more readily so if treatment is started early.
