Bulimia is a condition of continuous,
uncontrolled overeating. It is considered a
manifestion of stress or depression, this
eating disorder is found chiefly in young
women. However, it may also arise as a result
of brain damage or disease. When compensated
for by forced vomiting or overdoses of
laxatives, the condition is called bulimia
nervosa. It is sometimes associated with
anorexia.
