Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Antidepressants are commonly used, alone or, ideally, in addition to CBT. Many patients
with bulimia also suffer from mood disorders. In addition to the potential beneficial effects
of antidepressants on mood, they have also been shown to decrease both the frequency of
binges and the typical preoccupation with shape and weight that is characteristic of those
with bulimia.
