Bulimia, or bulimia nervosa, is a psychological eating disorder characterized by bouts of compulsive eating followed by efforts to undo the effects of the same by using improper means like induced vomiting, bouts of fasting, purging with laxatives/enema/diuretics, and compulsive exercising.
According to popular belief, the main cause for bulimia is the sociocultural pressures that impose on young women vulnerable minds that a Barbie-doll-like look is the ideal look. Not being able to emulate this ideal leads to a poor body image, the psychological trauma of which in turn leads to bulimia. Some psychological disorders like depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc., are also known to contribute to bulimia.

As a doctor I have worked with many women struggling with eating disorders. I am also a former suffer of anorexia and bulimia myself (this was the main reason I decided to learn everything I could about these conditions and help myself and other people to recover from it).
I believe that most eating disorders are learned behavior. It can therefore be unlearned. By behavior I mean not only actions but thought processes and attitudes as well. As with many behavioral problems, early detection often speeds up recovery.
