There are many di"erent kinds of eating
disorders. One of the most common is bulimia.
Individuals su"ering from this condition may
express genuine joy in eating or appear to eat
in a normal manner. However, in private, they
will purge the food theyve eaten by forcing
themselves to vomit, take laxatives or diuretics,
or use enemas to get the food out of their
system. Because they have an unhealthy obsession

program. Signs And Symptoms Of
Bulimia Individuals struggling with bulimia
endure a mental health disorder that, when left
untreated, inflicts lasting and severe damage to
the body. At first, the e"ects on the body may
be minimal or easy to hide. For example,
dizziness or headaches can be explained as they
are common conditions. However, bulimics soon
begin to display more unique signs such as
swollen cheeks, dry and yellowing skin, and
scars or calluses on the knuckles from repeated,
self-induced vomiting. This last sign is usually
accompanied by discoloration or noticeable decay
of the teeth due to stomach acid coming up from
purging. Signs can then turn into serious
medical symptoms, such as Low blood
pressure Stomach or intestinal problems
Constipation Loss of bone density Abnormal heart
rate Enlarged glands Dehydration Hair loss or
thinning But eating disorders dont just do
physical damage. As a mental health issue,
bulimias underlying causes are typically rooting
in some emotional or behavioral problems. This
may be trauma, negative self-image, abuse,
bullying, or an inability to control ones
actions. Thus, individuals need the kind of
professional therapeutic help provided at a b
ulimia treatment program.

When someone enters a b ulimia treatment program,
they will be examined. As they heal from the
physical e"ects of their eating disorder, theyll
also receive treatment for their underlying
mental health disorder. Because there are a
variety of factors leading someone to develop an
eating disorder, counselors and therapists look
to isolate and work through the individuals
issues. These can be fallout from Emotional
abuse, physical trauma as well as physical or
sexual abuse. Chronic bullying can lead to such
extreme low self-esteem an individual develops
an eating disorder as a misguided response. But
no matter the cause of an individuals eating
disorder, they can rarely address their mental
health issues on their own. Finding Help At
