Bulimia nervosa (BN) is a serious mental illness that frequently shows symptoms in adolescence or early adulthood. Binge eating and incorrect compensatory behavior to regulate weight are hallmarks of the eating disorder bulimia nervosa, which can have potentially harmful consequences. Although the exact cause of bulimia nervosa is unknown, it is most likely complex. The binge-like conduct linked to this illness may be influenced by the anomalies in interoceptive function, notably of the insula. Although the exact origin is unknown, scientists think a combination of genetic, biochemical, psychological, social, and behavioral variables is to blame. Treatment for bulimia will be more successful the sooner it is discovered. Treatments that work concentrate on nutrition, self-worth, problem-solving, coping mechanisms, and mental wellness. These therapies assist patients in the long-term maintenance of good behaviors.
