Bulimia is a real disease and people suffering from it usually are not able to control the disease without professional help. Pleads from family and friends to stop such conduct in the best cases are useless, but in the worst have the opposite effect.
It is considered that the pressures and conflicts within the family are initial signs of bulimia. A bulimic is usually a person who wants too much and strives to achieve perfection, and feels that it cannot meet the expectations of their parents. Her self-esteem is very low and suffers from depression. Maybe as a child it was physically or sexually abused, about half of all sick persons suffering from bulimia in the past had experience of abuse.
