To the outward signs it is possible to attribute:
Among the most important effects of bulimia can be isolated low blood pressure, which often leads to fainting, as well as arrhythmia, renal failure due to a decreased content of potassium salt.
Especially severe consequences for women. The fact is that systematic malnutrition, which is replaced by gluttony, provokes miscarriage or the birth of an unhealthy child. Vomiting caused artificially, leads to a deterioration in the condition of not only the throat, but also the hair, nails and skin. Metabolism begins to slow down.
As in women and men, unreasonable irritability and bad, sensitive sleep, poor concentration are observed - these are only some serious consequences of bulimia.
Danger of laxatives. The peculiarity of the constant use of laxatives leads to the fact that over time the intestine refuses to process and "throw out" food. As a result of the problem, doctors resort to surgical intervention.
Mental Health. Depression and persistent stress can be the result of the disease or its aftermath. During the development of the disease, the emotional state of the victim only worsens.

However, efforts do not bear fruit, and if they manage to throw off a couple of pounds, then the weight is rapidly recruited again in a matter of days. The doctor will "put" the patient on a diet, and also give recommendations on how to please yourself in order to avoid such disruptions. Often, a doctor prescribes antidepressants.
But when they are in the circle of "their own", they calm down somewhat, that they are not alone in their preferences. Many doctors actively use non-traditional medicine - hypnosis, or they themselves teach a unique technique that enables the patient to control eating.
In the treatment with medications, antidepressants are actively used. If the patient suffers from bulimia, fluoxetine is prescribed. In order to cure a severe form of depression use SSRIs, which helps get rid of "seizing" problems and anxiety disorders.
It is noteworthy that the medicine starts to activate after 7 days after you started using it. Antidepressants use dosed, increasing reception, if the body gets used to them.
After 3, 6, 8 weeks of the use of this medicine, it is necessary to be examined by a physician who will be able to evaluate the effect of the drug on the body.
With ineffective treatment or with the abandonment of it, the most unexpected complications begin to develop, in which even the cardiovascular system is affected. There are no lethal outcomes when a patient dies of a rupture of the heart and stomach, as well as the occurrence of internal bleeding.
It is not uncommon for a patient to be cured due to a powerful positive shock.
