A member asked:
Help please! is bulimia (eating disorder) really curable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Bulimia is a stand alone disorder but really is a symptom of compulsion. The underlying reason for compulsive behavior needs to be found and that is best evaluated & treated with cognitive behavioral therapy.
