Bulimia Signs and Symptoms
Bulimia nervosa is a mental health illness known as an eating disorder, or a disturbance in eating behavior. For many clients in need of bulimia rehab, the ability to cover bulimia symptoms is a common one, and subsequently, many of these bulimia rehab clients maintain their disorder for years without friends or family knowing about it. Some common bulimia symptoms and signs include:
- Frequent binging (taking in large amounts of food)
- Frequent purging, including vomiting, abusing laxatives or diuretics or excessive exercise
- Loss of control over food and eating
- Low self-esteem and distorted body image
- Dehydration
- Oral health problems
- Digestive issues
- Damage to the esophagus
- Acid reflux disorder
Rehab for Bulimia
Bulimia rehab primarily consists of psychological bulimia treatment, which can address the bulimia symptoms the client is experiencing, and help the bulimia rehab client stop their disordered eating. Psychological counseling as part of bulimia rehab also allows clients to address the circumstances and issues that brought them to bulimia rehab. These can include low self-esteem; peer pressure to maintain the perfect body weight and shape; experience with trauma, such as child abuse or rape; and other causes.
Medication as part of pharmacological bulimia rehab can be extremely effective as a bulimia treatment. Clients with bulimia nervosa may be prescribed antidepressants, which can help with any co-occurring depressive disorders, but also help reduce urges to binge and purge.
Nutritional counseling with a dietician can help bulimia rehab clients to keep track of eating and develop a healthier relationship with food and nutrition.
