Review
Bulimia nervosa is a disorder affecting the eating patterns of women in industrialized societies. Medical and dental consequences of the illness often lead patients to seek treatment after about six years. Controlled treatment studies to date utilize outpatient therapy instead of hospitalization. Published literature suggests that the illness is most effectively treated with psychotherapy and antidepressant medications; however, including nutritional intervention in the treatment regimen shows promise. Clearly more studies are necessary.

Review
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are eating disorders with distinct clinical presentations. Reduced caloric intake, a hallmark of both disorders, is manifested by self-induced starvation in anorexia and by binge eating and gastrointestinal purging in bulimia. Treatment includes nutritional intervention, psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy in either the ambulatory or the hospital setting.

Review
The frequent occurrence of the eating disorder bulimia and major scientific contributions raise the question as to its origins, history, and course. Considerable information exists on bulimia. This paper reviews the historical references to the disorder from the first recorded report to the present (2,500 years ago to ca. 1970). The concept of bulimia has undergone various changes, beginning with a monosymptomatic, and leading to a polymorphous clinical picture. In addition, after being fused with the concept of kynorexia (incessant voracious eating followed by vomiting), the concept of bulimia has again attained a unified manifestation. Some symptoms appear to have taken on a different evaluation in time. All this must be seen in the context of the multiple changes which the concept of bulimia has undergone. Its characteristics justify neither a "new" disorder nor, as a consequence, an additional name.

Review
BACKGROUND
Bulimia nervosa (BN) and related eating disorders such as binge eating disorder are common. General practitioners can play a key role in the identification and management of BN and related eating disorders.
OBJECTIVE
This article describes the presenting and associated features of BN and overviews evidence based treatment approaches.
DISCUSSION
Key features are recurrent episodes of binge eating, extreme weight control behaviours and over concern about weight and shape issues. By definition people are not underweight. Risk factors include being from a western culture, obesity, exposure to a restrictive dieting environment and low self esteem. People are more likely to present asking for help in weight control or a physical problem secondary to the eating disorder. Evidenced based therapies with good outcomes in current use are cognitive behaviour therapy (in full or guided self help forms), high dose fluoxetine, and interpersonal psychotherapy. It is important to convey optimism about treatment efficacy and outcomes.

Review
Bulimia nervosa and bulimic behavior are among the most common eating disorders, affecting up to 13% of female college students. Most health professionals are aware of the compulsive overeating, self-induced vomiting, and laxative abuse associated with this disease; yet, only a small proportion of affected patients are ever diagnosed, generally only after years of abuse. Since the dental changes observed in most bulimics are recognizable and usually undeniable, the clinician should be aware of the oral and maxillofacial changes of this disease in order to arrive at an early diagnosis. Without successful treatment, an estimated 1 in 300 bulimic cases will have a fatal outcome. Even with treatment, one-third of affected individuals suffer early relapse and half of them do not consider themselves cured after 5 years of psychologic therapy. The learning objective of this article is to discuss the dental and psychologic features of this disorder, with focus on the differential diagnosis and treatment of the oral manifestations.
