Bulimia is a disease largely female, usually exists in two variations of psychological disorders.
Types of bulimia
The first type of bulimia are usually overtaken by girls at puberty. For adolescent age characterized by alternating periods of brutal appetite with periods of any lack of hunger, as well as sudden changes of weight . These quick reset and sets the weight is just distracting from the issue: the girl is not worried when it overcomes the appetite - because it is easy to lose weight. She calmly eats, then lose weight, then again given the will of his appetite. Until there comes a time when the appetite for all does not end, but the weight keeps growing ...
The second type of bulimia lies in wait for their prey in the age of 25-30 years in the period strong nerve overload, when the young woman continually strive to "seize" your stress, occurs gradually accustoming the body to uncontrolled, unlimited meals, produced by psycho-emotional dependence on food, lack of sense saturation and, consequently, obesity occurs.
For patients with each of the variations in bulimia characteristic of constant obsession with thoughts of food. Realizing that with them to create something "wrong" and, aware of his own "imperfect", they begin to actively fight against excess weight by means of strict diets, active exercise, fasting and cleansing the body of food consumed by laxatives, enemas, diuretics , artificial induce vomiting.
Active periods of struggle against excess weight (as a consequence of bulimia nervosa) are accompanied by the accumulation of emotional stress, which at some point breaks out as a binge episode. At different stages of progression in patients with bulimia can be observed from two to forty attacks a month. AMU is expressed in uncontrolled binge eating. During each attack, the patient can eat up to two kilograms of food more, and then feels discomfort, heaviness in the stomach, palpitations, sweating, weakness, until he lost consciousness, sleepiness, and heaviness in the body. Then the patient begins to regret his actions, the prosecution itself in a lack of willpower, a sense of guilt in front of him. And as a result of all this - the decision: to clean the stomach and cause vomiting. However, the vomiting does not prevent the absorption of even half of the nutrient that helps the next set of weight! After artificially induced vomiting again the feeling of hunger. Again, the patient begins to fight with himself - an irresistible urge to eat and shame for his desire. In addition, the acidic environment of the stomach destroys the enamel of teeth , breaks the microflora of the esophagus and oral cavity - it leads to serious problems with the digestive tract of a patient bulimia. Feeling "a hungry stomach," leads to more overeating, which in turn leads to more vomiting. And so it may continue for many years!
