Disorders: Bulimia

For a lot of young children with a troubled childhood, food becomes their best friend. When anxiety hits them, they crawl under the blanket and eat to feel better. Their body starts to crave more and more food and when the guilt sets in that they ate too much, the self-induced vomiting starts. The cycle of eating and ridding the body of the food becomes a way of living and dealing with psychological stress on a daily basis. The term used for this disorder is bulimia.
