title: [Treatment of bulimia nervosa].
abstract: Many young women and also men are constantly dissatisfied with their body. In some cases the discontent with one's own body and the resulting restrictive eating behaviour can predetermine the path to bulimia nervosa. This article summarizes the treatment options and their respective evidence for bulimia nervosa. Apart from the choice of treatment setting, psychotherapeutic treatment measures and the role of psychopharmacologic drugs for the treatment of bulimia nervosa are discussed.
