Bulimia Facts And History

Between 5-10% of young adult women (and increasingly men) make themselves sick once or twice a week. But not all of them will have bulimia. Bulimics feel compelled to be sick. This element of compulsion indicates that it is an addiction.

Bulimia Nervosa was formally identified in 1979 by British psychiatrist Gerald Russell.
