What are some of the personality traits of a bulimic?
The personality studies that have been published tend to show that, in contrast to anorexic patients with anorexia nervosa, who tended to be inhibited, restricted, more isolated socially in their behavior and also more conservative and more inhibited sexually in their behavior, that the young women and patients with bulimia nervosa tend to be more impulsive, more emotionally expressive, less inhibited both socially and sexually in their behavior, and tend to move more in the direction of what we call an over-dramatic, impulsive personality type. Whether this is scientifically true or not remains questionable, but the studies have shown that.
