Bulimia is on the increase, affecting women and men, and is primarily a psychological condition rooted in low self-esteem and depression. Other symptoms include weight fluctuations and irregular periods, and complications can be life-threatening, from rupture of the stomach to heart attack. The good news is that bulimia is highly treatable. Methods used include self-help programmes supervised by GPs, anti-depressant medication, counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, and specialist eating disorder help and support. This book, whose lead author is the pioneering expert in the field, gives up-to-date thinking on bulimia, binge-eating and their treatment.

    develop irregularities in their menstrual cycle, including amenorrhoea (absence of menstrual periods). This is very likely to be related to loss of body fat, but other factors may also play a role, including dysfunction of the hypothalamus (a small area at the base of the brain).

      Interestingly, there is no evidence to support the notion that any particular body shape or size is more appealing to men than any other. Furthermore, there is no evidence that men are drawn to women who are very slim. Indeed, there is no evidence that men are drawn to any particular shape or weight in their partners. There is, however, evidence that it is women who prefer women to be slim.
