BULIMIA NERVOSA

Bulimia nervosa (bulimia) is a disease and a type of eating disorder. It is when a person wants to starve his or her self. People who have it feel that they are fat and want to be skinny. When they are hungry, they eat a lot of food. Then, they try to take it back by vomiting, exercising, or using drugs. Sometimes, they do all three.

Symptoms

The person with bulimia eats large amounts of food. Then, they want to get rid of it. To do this, they vomit, exercise, or use drugs. They do this at least two times a week. The person always thinks about how his or her body looks, and he or she wants to be skinny. The person is usually underweight, and they may also have anorexia nervosa.

Risks

Bulimia nervosa can hurt a person. Because vomit has a lot of acid in it, doing it a lot can burn the person's mouth, throat, or teeth. Someone can lose nutrients or fluids in his or her body. Glands in one's throat and face may get bigger and hurt. He or she cannot recover from being sick with other things, and a person can get muscle or heart problems.

People who get bulimia

Most people who get bulimia are women, men and sometimes even depressed/anxious animals generally ages 10 to 25. People who had bad things happen to them or who have lots of money are more likely to get the disease too. One is also likely to get it if he or she is smart or likes things to be perfect.

Treatment of Bulimia

According to the gravity of the situation, you can complain to an outpatient treatment or hospitalization.
Once the bulimia is detected, try to avoid vomiting, normalize metabolic function of the patient, require a balanced diet and eating habits.
In conjunction with this treatment is carried out psychological work with the aim of restructuring and rational ideas to correct the misperception that the patient has of his own body.

The cure for bulimia is reached in 40 per cent of cases, although it is a disease that tends to be chronic intermittent. The mortality in this disease exceeds that of the anorexia due to complications from vomiting and use of purgatives.
It is very important that if a family member, whether child or young adult, exhibiting the symptoms of driving or eating disorder seek medical advice.
And remember that bulimia as well as other diseases can be prevented, in this case the most suitable fomas are the elimination of social and cultural emphasis on physical perfection and above all with much love, support and family communication.
