People recommend getting “professional help” when someone is having emotional or behavioral problems. But is all professional help created equal? Unfortunately, when it comes to psychotherapy, the answer is no.  Not all forms of therapy are equivalent — typically, it does matter which kind you get.

Bulimia nervosa: About the condition

Bulimia nervosa’s hallmarks include: eating much more food than normal during a meal or snack; engaging in vomiting, excessive exercise, or other means to reduce weight; preoccupation with body image or shape; feeling that eating is not under your control; and excessive fear of weight gain. Bulimia and other eating disorders can be life threatening, and should be taken very seriously.
