The best answer to the question: Which of the following statements about individuals with bulimia nervosa is true? Would be: Bulimics usually feel depressed and guilty about their abnormal eating habits.

Explanation:

Bulimia, like anorexia nervosa, is an eating disorder that is characterized by a person´s tendendy to binge eat and then attempt to purge the food that has been consumed. Although usually this is achieved through vomiting, or using laxatives, it can also happen through other forms such as excessive exercizing. In any case, what is very common in these people is the appearance of anxiety, and especially depressive, disorders, and there is also the presence of guilt, that attempt to dissuade them from allowing the episodes to take place. This usually does not happen in anorexics. However, people with bulimia, due to their underlying psychological issues, cannot combat the triggers for the episodes and will reincide.
