Question

Jody regularly engages in binge-eating episodes, and clearly suffers from an eating disorder. How would you determine if her diagnosis should be bulima nervosa or binge-eating disorder?

Answer 1

Bulimia nervosa is when someone binges on food and then follows it with throwing up. Binge-eating disorder, is when someone just binges and eats a lot but doesn't throw it up afterwards. So Jody would have binge-eating disorder.
