Mental bulimia is one of the eating disorders that can make life a living hell for the sufferer. Food gradually becomes a drug, the body sends out signals of so-called "wolf hunger", a state similar to the irresistible desire to ingest an addictive substance.

MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN INITIAL DIAGNOSTIC CONSULTATION

• Does food make you feel relaxed and distract you from anxiety?
• Do you experience repeated bouts of overeating and subsequent vomiting?
• Does overeating make you feel disgusted, ashamed and uprooted from society?
• Are you haunted by "wolf hunger"?
• Are your thoughts about food literally obsessive?
• Are there times when you literally hate yourself?

Bulimia is similar in nature to the disease of addiction. Food is no longer a means to satisfy hunger or a gourmet experience. Hunger and cravings cease to play a major role; wolf hunger is a condition referred to as craving or binging.

Physiologically, craving is essentially the same as the alarm stress response. By suddenly supplying more carbohydrates, we dampen this stress response. Unfortunately, the subsequent vomiting becomes a literal trap.

If we answer most of these questions in the affirmative, we should stop and realize that it is time to start freeing ourselves from the "bondage of food". We treat eating disorders with specialized psychotherapeutic methods, depending on the type of disorder.

The psychotherapeutic process can also be supported by psychopharmaceuticals in severe cases.

• Psychogenic overeating
• Bulimia
• Anorexia
• Drunkorexia
• Ortorexia

Symptoms of the different eating disorder spectrum disorders can be intertwined. In some sufferers, the individual disorders may alternate after certain phases - most often anorexic periods alternate with periods of psychogenic binge eating or bulimia. Make an appointment for a non-binding diagnostic consultation. Together we will determine the type of your problem, its severity and any associated difficulties. We will suggest a specific treatment procedure and explain the basic features of the psychotherapeutic method.
