The exact cause for Bulimia is not known. We do know that it is an emotionally motivated eating disorder. Someone who suffers from the illness firmly believes that her body is ugly and fat. Generally, this is a skewed perception. Promises Behavioral Health has a bulimia treatment center in Nashville, TN you can reach out to. Many bulimia sufferers deal with depression, anxiety, or substance abuse, as well. When a person has more than one mental health issue, it is called a dual diagnosis. There are many dual diagnosis treatment centers located throughout the United States, so help is available.
Most people who deal with the disease are overtly thin and undernourished. This happens because the process of eating is binge and purge. No calories are allowed to remain as the individual uses all means to dispose of them. This could include using laxatives, enemas, weight loss pills, or diuretics. Self-induced vomiting is also used to purge food intake.
It is sometimes difficult to tell if a loved one is dealing with a bulimia problem. Parents of bulimics are often in denial, as this is a scary diagnosis. If left untreated, bulimia is a life-threatening eating disorder. The Mayo Clinic lists the following as symptoms of the illness:
While this is not an exhaustive list, it is some of the more apparent signs. The National Eating Disorder Association states that bulimia can be recognized by any overly concerned, all-consuming dieting and controlling of food consumption, combined with purging.
If you are concerned about yourself or a loved one, treatment is the best option. Self-healing is usually not effective as it is a deep-seated illness. Self-control has already been lost. Bulimia can affect many systems of the body leading to death. These include: cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, neurological, and kidney.
Only about 35% of people with bulimia go to a bulimia treatment center that specializes in eating disorders. This is most likely related to the fact that people with bulimia are secretive and embarrassed by the disease. A quality treatment center will help you with the following:
