Correct answer: B. Bulimia nervosa
- A. Obesity
- B. Bulimia nervosa
- C. Dyspepsia
- D. Anorexia nervosa
Explanation
Bulimia nervosa is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating, wherein individuals consume large amounts of food, often high in carbohydrates, in a short period. This is usually followed by inappropriate compensatory behaviors to prevent weight gain, such as vomiting, fasting, or excessive exercise. Unlike bulimia, obesity refers to excess body weight due to fat, without the episodic eating pattern. Dyspepsia is a term for indigestion, unrelated to specific eating patterns. Anorexia nervosa involves food restriction and fear of weight gain, contrasting with the binge eating seen in bulimia nervosa.
