Best Answer

The best way to help someone with anorexia or builimia is to provide them with professional and medical treatment and therapy. Therapy for anorexia can vary greatly based on the needs of the patient. It can be out-patient - which is the most common - or in-patient. Therapy is used as a tool to overcome the serious mental effects of the disorder, and often to work towards a better, healthier mental state. Dietary supplements and supervision are frequently used. In more severe cases, in-patient anorexics may have a feeding tube or IV (or both) inserted. It is also important to continually provide support, and be watchful of a potential relapse. Relapses into eating disorders are very common.

How does someone get rid of hisher bulimia if heshe know that it is bad for himher but still cant stop?

He/She can't just get rid of bulimia, he/she has to overcome it. He/she needs to talk to their doctor so they can get a good therapist and a nutritionist to help them overcome this. He/she also needs a good support system (family, friends etc.) but first he/she needs to realize that something is wrong and want to get better. If you or someone you know is suffering from bulimia talk to your doctor to get the proper treatment. Trying to solve this problem alone will not work.
