Bulimia Nervosa

Captions available

The idea

Bulimia nervosa is a psychological disorder involving recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behavior.

In practice

A person maintains an unremarkable outward appearance while the cycle continues privately for years.

Where people slip

Outward appearance carries no diagnostic information here. Assuming otherwise is why the disorder is missed.
