Causes of Bulimia NervosaCauses of bulimia nervosa have been tossed around for many years, without any definitive outcome. Researchers nationwide have developed theories about the causes of bulimia nervosa, but there is not one of those theories that answer the questions about all of the symptoms or causes of bulimia nervosa. Causes of bulimia that have been discussed seem to center around body image mood disorders and depression and in some cases, even genetics. The one question that seems not to have been overcome is why two people with similar profiles don’t both develop bulimia. Finding the causes of bulimia nervosa has proven more difficult than many thought it would primarily due to the fact that bulimia nervosa has a psychological, physical and social component and is not limited to one cultural, racial, sex or age group. With that being said, bulimia nervosa is an illness that is primarily associated with women. Without treatment, knowing the cause of bulimia nervosa won’t matter. Call for help today! Call 1-800-760-4162 Cognitive Behavior Cause for Bulimia NervosaThe "cognitive behavior model" relating to the cause of bulimia nervosa, believes the is unhappy with his or her body size and shape and believes that when they feel full they must be fat; even though we know that feeling fat does not necessarily mean we are fat. This type of belief system creates feelings of depression, sadness, anxiety, and self-loathing. To the person with bulimia nervosa, purging becomes a way of alleviating the fat and coping with their feelings. The bulimic feels better after the purging and this feeling positively reinforces the behavior. This may or may not be the cause of bulimia nervosa, but the behavior and result is accurate. Does the cause of bulimia nervosa really matter? Get Help Today! Sociocultural Cause of Bulimia NervosaThe “socialcultural model” was generated from the theory that bulimia nervosa, almost always co-exists with an associated psychiatric disorder like; major depression, mood disorder, bipolar disorder or anxiety disorder. In addition to psychiatric disorders the person feels pressure from society to be thin. The psychiatric disorder makes it very difficult for the individual with bulimia nervosa to cope and they adopt the behavior of bulimia. This may or may not be the cause of bulimia nervosa, but is certainly an element of the disorder. Pathophysical Cause of Bulimia NervosaThe "pathophysiologic model" believes that as with drug addiction, brain chemistry is the cause of bulimia nervosa. Eating can change levels of chemicals in the brain. Unlike drug addiction, professional researchers have not been able to actually demonstrate that these chemical imbalances cause bulimia nervosa.
