[Bulimic behaviors].
Bulimic behaviours are becoming increasingly frequent, notably among adolescents and young adults. They present under several clinical forms the most frequent of which (but also the most often missed) is compulsive maintenance of normal weight, which proceeds by attacks with vomiting. This is a potentially invalidating behaviour with serious somatic, affective and social repercussions, which requires a protracted, difficult treatment with uncertain results.
