Breaking Free from the Cycle of Bingeing and Purging
Living with bulimia often feels like being trapped in a cycle you can’t escape—periods of binge eating followed by guilt, shame, or purging behaviors. Many adults in Dubai carry this struggle quietly, balancing professional and family responsibilities while hiding the emotional toll. At American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City, we provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to help you break free from the cycle and develop healthier coping strategies.

- Expats in Dubai – Facing cultural adjustment stress or pressures around appearance and social comparison.
- Professionals Under Stress – Using food or purging as a way to cope with work or emotional pressure.

The goal of therapy is not just to stop harmful behaviors, but to help you build a healthier, more confident way of living.
Did You Know?
Did you know that bulimia affects an estimated 1–2% of adults worldwide, yet many go undiagnosed for years due to stigma and secrecy? Left untreated, bulimia can lead to serious complications such as heart irregularities, electrolyte imbalances, and long-term digestive issues. Studies also show that with professional therapy, most individuals see significant improvements in both physical health and emotional wellbeing within the first year of treatment.
Awareness and timely support are key—seeking help now can prevent long-term complications and restore balance to your life.
