Bulimia Nervosa Is Often Not Detected and Diagnosed Until Later

Bulimia nervosa is often not detected and diagnosed until later in the course of illness because:

A) Clinicians fear the stigma of a diagnosis of BN.
B) The lack of effective treatments for BN make a diagnosis meaningless.
C) Individuals are reluctant to admit to their disordered behaviors.
D) Binge eating is seen as an effective coping strategy.
