Bulimia Nervosa is a chronic and recurrent eating disorder characterised by bouts of uncontrollable binging. The onset of Bulimia is connected with the brain as it sends two mixed signals one to eat and the other to regurgitate what has been eaten in order to manage weight. In most cases people who suffer from Bulimia eat huge portions of meals and tend to induce vomiting. Some people also use diuretics, excessive exercise and laxatives in order to loose weight.
Bulimia nervosa causes co-morbid mood disorders and it has close association with depression. The cascade associated with Bulimia is always followed by self criticism and chronic depression which causes the person to over indulge or even avoid food totally. In the contemporary scenario many people are following regimens that include crash short term diet plans which can be hazardous to the body. Any change pertaining to the metabolic activity and physiological processes associated has to be gradual in order for the body and the mind to adapt to a respective pattern.
The pattern of Bulimia is often referred to as a binge-purge pattern and it occurs in women more than men. Studies indicate that women in their mid twenties and teens in contemporary times experience symptoms associated with eating disorder and mood orders which can be directly correlated with the onset of Anorexia nervosa or Bulimia nervosa. The precursor of such events have links to psychosocial environment in which the person is and the perception of experiences from their day to day life. Young adults and teens experience these changes more and if ignored it can cause chronic conditions such as Insomnia, depression, anxiety and also physiological conditions such as hypertension and cardiovascular disease at a young age.
