Are there cases of bulimia with non-depression?

My friend, he's a guy, has a problem where he doesn't realize how much he's eating and then eats so much to the point where he gets nauseous and throws the meal back up.


Now he's not depressed, and he's not doing it to lose weight or anything, so is this still bulimia?





and he uh... doesn't want to see a doctor.


too much money blah blah blah


Tums doesn't exactly help him either.

|OK - the answer to this isn't simple so hang on in there with me a second. It's not really depression, but more of a means of processing anxiety. The fear of it actually increases the impact of it. It's pretty vicious. However, there are ways to manage it, and there are some good resources out there. Often doctors don't actually help. One of my clients was just told, ';You should try and eat more.';





Great.

If he wants, get him to contact me directly. He's lucky to have you around. Most bulimics are afraid their partners will think them too wierd, and so are ashamed to talk about it. Stick with it.
