Dialectical Behavior Therapy for treating Bulimia Nervosa
Though cognitive behavior therapy is generally considered the treatment of choice for bulimia nervosa, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may be particularly effective in treating bulimia nervosa due to its targeting of emotional dysregulation problems, which often underlie the eating disorder. One study has shown a significant decrease in binge/purging behaviors in patients with bulimia nervosa who underwent DBT with a focus on emotional regulation, though more research into this area is necessary.

A 20-year-old individual, who is of normal body weight, reports recurrent episodes of consuming very large quantities of food in a short time, feeling a complete loss of control during these episodes. To prevent weight gain, they engage in hours of intense, excessive exercise afterward and feel significant distress about their eating patterns. Based on this pattern of behavior, which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A 20-year-old individual describes recurrent episodes of consuming unusually large amounts of food in a short period, feeling a profound lack of control during these times. Following these episodes, they experience intense guilt and engage in several hours of high-intensity exercise specifically to prevent weight gain. These behaviors occur, on average, twice a week, and the individual's body weight is within the normal range for their height and age. Which of the following conditions best accounts for this specific pattern of behavior?
