BULIMIA
BULIMIA is a pathologically increased feeling of hunger, usually accompanied by the consumption of excessively large amounts of food (polyphagia). A frequent cause of bulimia is the disruption of the functions of the central mechanisms of formation of sensations of hunger, appetite and saturation due to organic lesions of the central nervous system (encephalitis, swelling of the posterior cranial fossa, brain injuries, etc.), as well as mental disorders (manic state, catatonia , oligophrenia) With hysteria and other neuroses. In addition, bulimia occurs when changes in metabolic processes lead to rapid depletion of blood nutrients - with hyperinsulinism of endogenous and exogenous origin, diabetes, thyrotoxicosis; In these cases it is an indicator of the severity of the disease. Moderate bulimia, usually alternating with a decrease in appetite, may be a sign of duodenitis. Bulimia is observed sometimes and with a natural increase in the body's need for nutrients - in the recovery period after severe infectious diseases and alimentary dystrophy; In these cases it serves as a prognostically favorable sign.
