  • Preoccupation with food and body image
  • Binge eating or extreme dieting

Counseling for Bulimia or Anorexia in Pflugerville, TX—Treatment and Therapy

With more and more celebrities opening up publicly about their struggle with bulimia and anorexia, our culture is having important and needed conversations about body image and healthy eating habits. The counselors at Thriveworks Pflugerville understand how bulimia and anorexia can harm a person physically and psychologically, and they have helped many clients find the holistic care they deserve.

Recognizing Bulimia and Anorexia

There are several different types of eating disorders acknowledged by The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), and anorexia and bulimia are likely the most well-known. While they share many similarities, they are distinct diagnoses, and recognizing their differences is important.

More commonly known as simply anorexia, the DSM-5 gives the following diagnostics for anorexia nervosa:

  • Feeling contempt for one’s weight and/or body while being unable to perceive the low body weight.
  • Irrational and severe fear of gaining weight that results in interference with normal weight maintenance and gain.
  • Deliberately limiting food consumption so a significantly lower body weight occurs in relationship to averages for one’s developmental trajectory, sex, age, and physical health.

More commonly known as simply bulimia, the DSM-5 gives the following diagnostics for bulimia nervosa:

  • A self-image that is overshadowed by body size and weight.
  • Repetitive times of binge eating, including,
    • Losing control over food consumption during the binge.
    • During a certain period of time, eating more food than most people could eat during the same period of time and under similar circumstances.
  • Repetitive and compensatory use of any means that may prevent gaining weight, including misusing medications such as laxatives or diuretics; inducing vomit; fasting excessively and/or frequently; or exercising excessively.

While many diagnostics differ for bulimia and anorexia, some are the same. Often eating disorders are accompanied with other psychiatric disorders such as depression or PTSD. Bulimia and anorexia afflict both men and women. People of all ages can develop an eating disorder, although they are most likely to first show symptoms during a person’s teen or young adult years. Bulimia and anorexia also pose serious health threats.

Anorexia is known to cause low blood pressure, low heart rate, abnormal heart beat, heart failure and disease, infertility, disruptions in menstrual cycle, low white blood cell counts, premature osteoporosis, disruptions in the endocrine system, anemia, kidney damage, and ultimately death.

Bulimia is known to cause tooth decay, ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease, kidney damage, constipation, gastric rupture, electrolyte imbalance, and heart failure.

What Causes Anorexia and Bulimia?

The specifics of how, when, where, and why anorexia or bulimia develop in a person are often intimate and unique. But generally speaking, professionals categorize their causes as two separate types: biological and environmental.

  1. Examples of biological causes may be irregular hormone functions, nutritional deficiencies, and genetics.
  2. Examples of environmental causes may be peer pressure to be a certain body type; living in a culture obsessed with thinness and unrealistic ideas of beauty; childhood or family trauma.

Amanda always validates my feelings and is great at talking me through what is happening in my head. She allows me to talk and get out what I need to then helps me analyze it to move past it. I am truly grateful for her. I was very afraid of restarting therapy with a new clinician but I can't say enough how appreciative I am of her.
