There are a large number of people today who suffer from the eating disorder known as Bulimia Nervosa. Even though many studies have been undertaken they have not yet been able to define what causes bulimia. In fact what has been found is that there are a number of different factors which result in people suffering from this type of eating disorder. In this article we look at some of those things which are considered the major contributing causes for bulimia in people nowadays.
Cause 1 - We live a world today where more emphasis is placed on the way a person looks than the kind of person they are inside. This has led to many people especially young women being unsatisfied with their looks and will be constantly bombarded to obtain a look which is completely unrealistic for them to achieve.
Cause 2 - Those people today who have very little self esteem are highly susceptible to suffer from bulimia. This low self esteem could have been caused for a variety of reasons but the main ones seem to be they were abused as a child, they suffer from depression or they are trying to be perfect at everything they do.
Cause 3 - People who diet often are far more likely to develop some type of eating disorder problem including bulimia, unlike those who do not. Those who use more restrictive severe diets are going to be the ones prone to binge eating after their diet has finished and it is the same people who using these diets regularly will end up finding themselves caught up in the bulimia binge and purge cycle.
Cause 4 - If a person is involved in a certain profession where they need to look a certain way are prone to suffer from eating disorders. How often have stories been told of models, dancers, actors and gymnasts having to fight against eating problems as they need to maintain a certain look if they want to stay at the top of their profession.
Cause 5 - People may suffer from the eating disorder bulimia because of changes that have taken place in their lives recently. It could be down to them moving away from home or because a relationship in which they have been in for some finally comes to an end. Normally these people will end up suffering from bulimia as they see it as a way of helping them to cope with the stress that they are feeling.
Cause 6 - Some people may well suffer from bulimia as it is something that other family members have suffered from. Studies undertaken have how the certain people’s genetic make up is the cause for bulimia in them. Also in other research carried out it has been found that those whose bodies have low levels of serotonin are susceptible to suffering from bulimia.
