    BULIMIA NERVOSA Jhomz Alvarez

    DEFINITION
    Bulimia Nervosa, commonly called bulimia, is a serious,
    potentially life-threatening eating disorder. People with
    bulimia may secretly binge eating large amounts of food
    and then purge, trying to get rid of the extra calories in an
    unhealthy way.
    For example, someone with bulimia may force vomiting or
    engage in excessive exercise. Sometimes people purge after
    eating only a small snack or a normal size meal.
    BULIMIA CAN BE CATEGORIZED IN TWO WAYS:
    Purging Bulimia- You regularly self-induce
    vomiting or misuse laxatives , diuretics or enemas
    after bingeing.
    Non-Purging Bulimia- You use other methods to
    rid yourself of calories and prevent weight gain,
    such a fasting, strict dieting or excessive exercise.
    SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
    Being preoccupied with your body shape and weight.
    Living in fear of gaining weight.
    Feeling that you cant control your eating behaviour.
    Eating until the point of discomfort or pain.
    Eating much more food in a binge episode than in a normal meal or snack.
    Forcing yourself to vomit or exercise too much to keep from gaining weight after bingeing.
    Misusing laxatives, diuretics, or enemas after eating.
    Restricting calories or avoiding certain foods between binges.
    Using dietary supplements or herbal products excessively for weight loss.
    CAUSES
    The exact cause of bulimia is UNKNOWN.
    There are many factors that could play a role in
    the development of eating disorders, including
    biology, emotional health, societal expectations
    and other issues.
    RISK FACTORS
    Being Female
    Age
    Biology
    Psychological and Emotional issues
    Media and Societal pressure
    Sports, Work or Artistic pressures
    TREATMENT AND DRUGS
    Psychotherapy- also known as talk therapy or psychological counselling, involves discussing your bulimia
    and related issues with a mental health provider. Evidence indicates that these types of psychotherapy help
    improve symptoms of bulimia:
    Cognitive Behavioral therapy- to help identify unhealthy, negative beliefs and behaviours and replace
    them with healthy, positive ones.
    Family-based therapy- to help parents intervene to stop their teenagers unhealthy eating behaviours, then
    to help the teen regain control over his or her own eating, and lastly to help the family deal with problems
    that bulimia can have on the teens development and the family.
    Interpersonal Psychotherapy-which addresses difficulties in your close relationships, helping to improve
    your communication and problem-solving skills.
