Often referred to as a severe eating disorder, the medical condition affects individuals in their early adulthood. The patient experiences an irresistible urge to eat, then gains weight and starts facing irrational fear due to a sudden increase in weight. After feeling sick due to overeating, they try self-induced vomiting, excessive exercises, and fasting to reduce weight. They also use other methods of purging, like using laxatives. Such an eating disorder often results in oral pain and causes dental injuries.
