• Bulimia is a disease in which the victims are extremely hungry and develop insatiable appetite. A woman observed in St. Bartholomew’w Hospital in nineteenth century London is recorded to have consumed three loaves of bread every day, along with three pounds of steak, large quantities of vegetables, a pound of cereal, and twenty glasses of water.
• Trichotillomania is a disease characterized by an irresistible urge to pull one’s hair, and may involve the eyelashes or eyebrows. The disorder affects between 3 per cent and 5 per cent of the population and is considered an impulse control disorder. Patients with trichotillomania have noticeable hair loss or patches of baldness, but they often mask their habit. It is now believed females suffer more from trichotillomania (TTM) than males.
