Psychiatrist
Individual therapist
Family therapist
Nutritionist
Family dynamics
Individual
Temperament
(ie. impulsive)
Societal, cultural
hematemesis
Latxative-dependent: cathartic colon, melena, rectal
prolapse
Bulemia: Treatment
Multidisciplinary team
Primary care provider
Psychiatrist
Family therapist
Nutritionist
Evidence based : CBT + Antidepressant
(SSRI)
Bulemia: Treatment (Therapy)
Family therapy is a good option if patient is young
and still lives at home (But not as much evidence as
for Anorexia)
Interpersonal therapy (IPT) (short-term treatment
focused on life transitions)
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (good for long-term
results in people with chronic depressive and
personality symptoms)
Nutrition plan, exercise, physical activity
Bulemia:
High-dose Fluoxetine/Prozac (SSRI) – very good
Medicaions
evidence!
Sertraline/Zoloft (SSRI) – some good evidence
Buproprion/Wellbutrin (other antidepressant)
– contraindicated! (risk of seizures if history of
purging)
Topiramate/Topomax (mood stabalizer,
promotes weight loss) – some good evidence, but
use with caution esp if low-weight
Bulemia: Prognosis
33% remit every year
But another 33% relapse into full criteria
Adolescent-onset better prognosis than adult-onset
Death-rate = 1%
