Bulimia Treatment Center
What causes Bulimia?
What most people fail to realize is that Bulimia involves more than just problems with the intake or lack of intake of food. There is emotional and mental trauma involved as well as the physical damage that usually occurs during the life of the disorder. There are a number of emotional issues that can easily trigger this type of disorder including anger, dieting, sadness, stress, or any other uncomfortable emotions.
In order for the person to feel that they are in more control of these emotions, they will binge and purge to prevent gaining any weight when they eat. Although there is no single known cause for Bulimia, the following factors play a significant role in the onset of the disorder and may be possible causes:
- Biology – chemicals, genes, and hormones in the brain are oftentimes factors
- Culture – US women are always under constant pressure to maintain their appearance and when they see thin women everywhere they go, this puts added pressure and stress on them to be attractive so they will be accepted
- Families – if you have a mother or sisters who are or have experienced Bulimia, it may increase your possibility of succumbing to the disorder and necessitate entering a Bulimia treatment center
- Life changes, stressful events, or other traumas – in many instances, eating disorders in women just like alcohol and drug addiction results from past traumatic experiences in their lives such as rape, spousal abuse, etc.
- Personality traits – typically, a Bulimic person does not like themselves, appearance included and they develop difficulties in controlling this type of behavior
