Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jean's behavior of eating unusually large amounts of snack foods and then making herself vomit is a characteristic symptom of bulimia nervosa. Binge eating disorder involves recurrent episodes of binge eating without compensatory behaviors, while anorexia nervosa involves severe restriction of food intake and fear of gaining weight. Impaired thyroid activity may lead to weight gain, but it is not the most likely explanation for Jean's behavior.
