Rapid responders to intensive treatment of bulimia nervosa

Article Abstract:

Forty-one percent of 166 female patients afflicted with severe bulimia nervosa respond rapidly to intensive treatment. These patients are the rapid responders and have a 98% decrease in symptoms in the first week of treatment. Most of the rapid responders are older and less concerned about overeating before treatment. A large decrease in symptoms is also seen in the slow, the partial, and the nonresponders. The rapid responders are almost completely cured by the end of the treatment, and their relapse rate and chances of receiving antidepressants or antibulimic medication are low.
