Bulimia?=?bulimarexia?=?bulimia nervosa.

S. Cullari and W. K. Redmon (see record 1984-04326-001) suggested that bulimarexia and bulimia nervosa are similar to one another but different from bulimia. The present author argues that given the current state of knowledge, it is conceptually incorrect to consider bulimia and bulimiarexia as separate eating disorders and that such a distinction may lead to serious problems in both clinical research and practice.
