They are in deep divisions ...

According to modern medical and psychological representations of bulimia nervosa - a typical psychosomatic illness, characterized by increased appetite, increased food consumption. Cause of the disease is dysfunction of brain centers responsible for regulating hunger and satiety. They are in deep parts of the brain, the hypothalamus, which is part of the limbic-reticular complex, where are the nucleus, the neurons that regulate the internal physiological and biological processes in the body. Why is it crashes? There are many reasons, most of them have a psychological nature. Some of the key - the disorganization of the hypothalamus functions caused by emotional stress, stress, anxiety and sometimes fear. Much has clarified regarding the mechanism of this disease psychoanalytic theory, Freudian and neofreydistskie concept that bulimia is a reaction of psychological protection in depression, neurosis, during the crisis of everyday situations. Pleasure, comfort, a "high" from eating (mostly fatty, sweet), to some degree drowns out the alarm, internal discomfort, longing. A role played by the unconscious desire to demonstrate their loyalty to spouse, commitment home, kids. It also should reflect and rejection of coquetry, the claims on appeal. However, many "donuts" ignore the serious threat to the endocrine, cardiovascular, nervous and other systems, you may have an excessive weight. But, paradoxically, many women have the time to convince themselves and others that they do not eat a lot (in a scientific language, this phenomenon is called displacement, and doctors often use a special term - "anosognosia"). Patients usually just think they have some violations of the endocrine system. Start a visit to the relevant specialists, who do find some violations revealed by small changes ultrasound data, biochemical studies (hormones), and even diagnose disease, most commonly the thyroid, the pituitary gland. It starts with hormonal therapy, which at best does not give any positive results, because all the parallel changes in the organism also arose because of disorders of neurohumoral self-regulation, due to stress. And just by chance, but sometimes just a miracle, they come to the attention therapist or health psychologist, which at first causes in patients disappointment and indignation: "But I have to psyche all right. I do not need a psychotherapist or psychoanalyst. I just have no luck with an endocrinologist, who can not help you lose weight, find the right treatment. " Begin the search for "magical, wonderful drugs for weight loss." People spend huge amounts of money, and the weight is not reduced. In addition, there are additional problems such as allergies to drugs, addiction to them, especially if they contain psychoactivating substance hitters appetite suppressing activity of the hunger center in the brain.
