How common is bulemia amongst males and why do they do it?

Bulemia is binging out on food then throwing up afterwards.

Answers:
Bulemia in males is not as common as it is in women or maybe it's just not as freely admitted as men usually try to act as if they don't have any problems. They do it for the same reason as women to lose weight as they suffer an abnormal perception or idea of their own body image, to gain control over something in their life ie. food intake and output.They usually binge eat then feel bloated or guilty ande so bring up the food they have eaten through vomiting.Hope this helps.Cognitive behavioural therapy with antidepressants is usually a recommended way of treating this illness to help the person alter their way of thinking about themself.
