When is bulimia cured?

Barton Blinder, MD (Clinical Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry) gives expert video advice on: How will I feel as I recover from bulimia?; Why can't a bulimic 'just stop'?; When is bulimia cured?

When there's been understanding, when there's been a very careful evaluation, when there's been abstinence or gradual reduction of the frequency of the behavior and eventually an abstinence from the behaviors. Finally, the substitution of better coping, more healthy and more reasonable. When it is proven to the patient that they can feel well, that they can manage themselves in an alternate way, in a better way for themselves.
