Binge Eating Disorder (BED): Similar to bulimia, BED involves recurrent episodes of overeating without compensatory behaviors like purging.
Dental Erosion: Acidic stomach contents from purging can erode tooth enamel, causing dental problems in individuals with bulimia.
Shame and Guilt Cycle: Many individuals with bulimia experience intense feelings of shame and guilt after bingeing and purging, perpetuating a destructive cycle.
