Mental Health and Eating Disorders

Bulimia is an eating disorder characterized by episodes of excessive eating followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting or the use of laxatives. It affects physical and mental health, causing digestive problems, nutritional imbalances and low self-esteem. Treatment includes psychological therapy, nutritional support and strategies to develop a healthy relationship with food. Early detection is key to prevent serious complications and promote recovery. With the right support, it is possible to overcome destructive patterns and improve emotional well-being. Bulimia is not just an eating problem, but a condition that requires a comprehensive and compassionate approach.
