For those struggling with this condition, binging and purging is a chronic and compulsive habit that is often used as a way to cope with difficult situations, establish a sense of control, or prevent weight gain. If left untreated, this dangerous health condition can have very serious physical and mental consequences.

We understand that each person is different and determining which treatment will be most effective will depend on individual needs and circumstances.

Potential Causes of Bulimia

Bulimia Nervosa is a complex mental health disorder that is often influenced by a number of biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Identifying the underlying causes of a person’s struggle with Bulimia is the first step toward understanding a person’s condition so that an effective treatment plan can be established to overcome it. The following is a list of some of the most common causes:

• History of abuse or trauma
• Competitive or perfectionist personality
• Genetic predisposition
• Negative body image
• Social pressures
• Underlying emotional disorders such as depression or anxiety

Benefits of Seeking Treatment From a Bulimia Psychologist

Most eating disorders manifest because of one or more deep-rooted psychological conditions. That’s why it’s important to get help from a licensed clinical psychologist who can help you change the deleterious thoughts and habits that are contributing to your condition. Psychotherapy can help you gain a better understanding of the unique factors that led to the development of your eating disorder, address the influence of other mental health conditions, and help you establish a healthier relationship with food, and with yourself. 

Bulimia Treatment

People who struggle with an eating disorder often wish to keep it private and, in many situations, others may never know what they are dealing with. At Blair Wellness Group of Beverly Hills, we want to offer you a healing environment where you can feel safe and comfortable to work through your challenges and take the steps necessary to achieve lasting change.
