Lessons in health: eating disorders
In order to conquer an eating disorder, you must first understand the symptoms. As these symptoms greatly affect your health, eating disorders are particularly devastating. However, with increased understanding, and reading articles on eating disorders, they can be overcome.
Treatment for eating disorders is a battle against a strong compulsion to either eat or not eat that has a disturbing effect on physical and mental health. Compulsive overeating involves excessive food intake, while restricting is very limited food intake. Food intake may even include random episodes of overeating followed by purging or the ingestion of non-foods, commonly known as Bulimia. Eating disorders have devastating immediate and long-term health problems, and can even cause death. While they are noted much more in women, often attributed to image anxiety, eating disorders are equally crippling for both genders.
Image anxiety: eating disorders cause?
The number of theories formulated around the causes and mechanisms of eating disorders is large. For women, they are often attributed to image or social anxiety. Eating disorders in men and women are often attributed to perfectionism, as well. The idea is that many sufferers set unattainable goals for their endeavors in life, cannot reach them due to outside forces, and then turn to controlling their weight as a substitute. Because they affect physical as well as mental health, eating disorders have symptoms that are very difficult to control.
