Document Summary

Bulimics have high levels of interpersonal sensitivity, as reflected in large increases in self-criticism following negative social interactions. Further binge episodes tend to be preceded by poorer than average social experiences, self concepts and moods. Also reported that the binge episodes are followed by deterioration in self concept, mood state and social perception. The person who is engaged in a binge often feels a loss of control over the amount of food being consumed. Foods that can be rapidly consumed, esp sweets such as ice cream or cake are usually part of a binge. Although research suggests that patients with bn sometimes ingest an enormous quantity of food during a binge. Binges are not always as large as the dsm implies and there may be wide variation in the caloric content consumed by individuals with bn during binges. Patients are usually ashamed of their binges and try to conceal them.
