All criteria are shown. No expand controls or hidden sections.
Core criterion A
Recurrent binge eating episodes (eating large amount in discrete period + sense of lack of control)
Core criterion B
Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behaviours to prevent weight gain (purging, fasting, excessive exercise)
Core criterion C
Binges and compensatory behaviours occur ≥1×/week for ≥3 months
Core criterion D
Self-evaluation unduly influenced by body shape and weight
Core criterion E
Disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of anorexia nervosa
Consistent with [Bulimia Nervosa] [specifier(s)]. Over at least three months, there have been recurrent episodes of binge eating; eating an objectively large amount of food in a discrete period; a subjective loss of control during these episodes; recurrent inappropriate compensatory behaviours such as vomiting; misuse of laxatives; misuse of diuretics; misuse of other medications; fasting; excessive exercise, occurring at least once per week. The presentation is further characterised by self-evaluation unduly influenced by body shape and weight. These symptoms have resulted in clinically significant distress or impairment in physical, social, or occupational functioning, and the presentation is not better explained by anorexia nervosa or another medical or psychiatric condition.
