Signs
These are some of the many signs that may indicate whether someone has bulimia nervosa:
- fixation on amount of calories consumed
- fixated and extremely conscious of weight
- low self-esteem
- low blood pressure
- irregular menstrual cycle
- constant trips to the bathroom
- depression
As with many psychiatric illnesses, delusions can occur with other signs and symptoms leaving the person with a false belief that is not ordinarily accepted by others.
The person may also suffer physical complications such as tetany, epileptic seizures, cardiac arrhythmias and muscle weakness.(ICD-10).
People with bulimia nervosa may also exercise to a point that excludes other activities.

—Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
“By nature servile, people attempt at first glance to find signs of good breeding in the appearance of those who occupy more exalted stations.”
