Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carlie's behavior is characteristic of bulimia nervosa, which involves recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors (such as purging or excessive exercise) to prevent weight gain. Neither food insecurity nor marasmus are related to Carlie's symptoms. While anorexia nervosa also involves strict dieting and weight control behaviors, it typically does not involve binge eating and purging behaviors.
