Bulimia

The human race’s relationship with food is a complex one. Naturally, eating is essential for our survival but, for some, it is difficult to achieve the correct balance in terms of what they consume. In some cases, this can manifest itself as an eating disorder such as bulimia nervosa where a pattern of binge-eating followed by self-induced vomiting develops around a fear of weight-gain. Pressure to look slim and images of supposedly perfect bodies are omnipresent in modern society and this can also be a factor in the prevalence of the disease, which may have serious long-term health effects. But, rest assured, you’re in good hands. Our experts are very skilled at identifying and treating the disease, having successfully done so on many occasions. Most clients make a full recovery and learn to develop a healthy relationship with food for the rest of their lives.
