Bulimia Nervosa Treatment at Home

Eating disorders can have an immense impact on our wellbeing. The psychological effects and obsessional aspects come to dominate our lives and leave us feeling like there is no way out. Dangerous eating habits can also threaten our physical health.

Bulimia Nervosa is a type of eating disorder, characterised by episodes of binge eating, followed by behaviours such as vomiting, taking large amounts of diuretics or laxatives, fasting or excessive exercising.

Approximately 1.25 million people in the UK are living with an eating disorder, with 19% of them having bulimia nervosa. Although most individuals struggling with an eating disorder are female, 25% are male.

Please contact Orchestrate Health today to learn more about our private bulimia nervosa treatment at home or via our live-in luxury properties in London.

Orchestrate Health is a private pay service and works outside of the NHS. We are committed to ensuring patients receive the highest standards of care available.

Causes and Risk Factors of Bulimia Nervosa

Although there is no single cause of bulimia nervosa, it is accepted that it is rooted in a strong dissatisfaction with one’s appearance, an obsession with weight loss and low self-esteem. However, researchers believe there is a combination of factors, including genetic, psychological, and sociocultural.

Genetic

Although this is a relatively new perspective, findings from several research studies have proven that genetics play an important role in the onset of bulimia nervosa. In fact, women with a close relative who has bulimia is four times more likely to develop the illness.

Psychological

Several psychological factors can contribute to the onset of bulimia nervosa. These include:

Low self-esteem
Negative personality traits such perfectionism and self-criticism
Thin-ideal internalisation (believing attractiveness can only be attained by an extremely thin body frame)

Sociocultural

It is important to consider the sociocultural impact surrounding the development of bulimia nervosa. Western society values have been linked to the pursuit of the ‘ideal body’ as a measure of success. Messages promoting unrealistic standards, including one’s appearance can trigger eating disorders, such as bulimia. Additional influences include:

Dysfunctional family environment
Social media pressure
Bullying and teasing
Childhood abuse (physical, sexual, or psychological)
Involvement in specific activities, jobs or groups that emphasise the appearance of an ideal body

None of the above risk factors work in isolation, but typically interact with each other in the development of the disorder.

Treatment for Bulimia Nervosa

We know that time is of the essence when addressing eating disorders. We offer rapid diagnosis with our expert psychiatrists within 24 hours of being contacted, so that we can formulate a bespoke treatment package.

Psychological Intervention

Therapy for eating disorders can help you unpick negative thinking patterns around food and body image, along with teaching you how to cope with urges and cravings in a healthy way. Often, the root cause of eating disorders is in our past and can be related to trauma. Our highly trained therapists can help you gain an understanding of your condition and help you set realistic, achievable goals.

Nutritional Intervention

Our highly trained dieticians can help develop a plan to reach your healthy eating goals and to sustain them in the long-term. They can help you work towards a healthy weight, help you practice meal planning, and help correct any physical issues that your condition may have caused.

Medication

If it is found that your eating disorder is linked to an underlying mental health condition such as depression or anxiety, we may use medication that will add to your therapeutic experience. We can also prescribe medication for any physical health problems caused by your eating disorder.
