Symptoms and Causes
Symptoms
• Being preoccupied with your body shape and weight
• Feeling a loss of control during bingeing — like you can't stop eating or can't control what you eat
• Repeated episodes of eating abnormally large amounts of food in one sitting
• Fasting, restricting calories or avoiding certain foods between binges
• Living in fear of gaining weight

Causes

[Biological]
Some people may have a genetic tendency toward perfectionism, sensitivity and perseverance — all traits associated with anorexia
The exact cause of bulimia is unknown. Many factors could play.
[Psychological]
[Others]
Some people with anorexia may have obsessive-compulsive personality traits that make it easier to stick to strict diets and forgo food despite being hungry.

Psychological and emotional problems, such as depression, anxiety disorders or substance use disorders are closely linked with eating disorders
Girls and women are more likely to have bulimia than boys and men are. Bulimia often begins in the late teens or early adulthood.
Psychological and emotional issues
Dieting
People who diet are at higher risk of developing eating disorders. Many people with bulimia severely restrict calories between binge episodes, which may trigger an urge to again binge eat and then purge
Biology

Mental Health Statistics in Malaysia
Malaysia, there is no concrete study or systematic research done on the prevalence of eating disorders, however the estimated figure is 3% suffer from bulimia nervosa, which would translate to between 250,000 to 900,000 sufferers.
