A member asked:
Is it still considered bulimia if you starve?then when you do eat you purge?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Bulimia usually binges and purges. If more starving it is more anorexia. Either way it is an eating disorder and this person needs help.....Asap.... It is about control and misplaced control that ultimately ruins your health.
