Related Disorders
People with bulimia are at a higher risk to have an affective disorder, such as depression or general anxiety disorder.
Medication
Participating in some sort of therapy can be the best medication for bulimia. This includes fluoxetine, also known as prozac, which is FDA approved, for the treatment of bulimia, other antidepressants such as setraline may also be effective against bulimia.
Alternative Medicine
The first use of hypnotherapy in Bulimic patients was in 1981. When it comes to hypnotherapy, Bulimic patients are easier to hypnotize than Anorexia Nervosa patients. In Bulimic patients, hypnotherapy focuses on learning self-control when it comes to binging and vomiting, strengthening stimulus control techniques, enhancing ones ego, improving weight control, and helping overweight patients see their body differently (have a different image).

Risk Factors
Being female and suffering from Bulimia Nervosa takes a toll on mental health. Women frequently reported an onset of Anxiety at the same time of the onset of Bulimia Nervosa. [2]Another concern with eating disorders is substance abuse. A lot of people who suffer from Bulimia Nervosa abuse alcohol and illicit drugs. [3]
In response to the peer reviews to my article, I added some of the things that were suggested to be changed or added. The changes have been bolded and italicized. Some of the other peer reviews did not really have a suggestion but I did take into full consideration of what was said. Also made completely different changes from what was in the works before and found different articles.
