2nd Answer:
The disorder is known as 'anorexia nervosa'. A person with this disorder is correctly know as an 'anoretic'. (The term 'anorexic' is a very commonly used, but wrong word for the disorder.)
Pseudodysphagia is the irrational fear of swallowing or choking. The symptoms are psychosomatic in nature. The act of swallowing becomes mentally linked with choking, or with undercapacity of the esophageal opening. This can induce panic reactions prior to or during the act of swallowing. The sensation of difficult swallowing feels authentic to the affected individual, although it is based on nothing in reality. It is important that dysphagia (difficult or painful swallowing) be ruled out before a diagnosis of pseudodysphagia is made. Fear of choking is associated with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, hypochondriasis, and weight loss. The condition can occur in both children and adults, and is equally common among males and females. Quality of life can be severely affected. Avoidance of restaurants or social settings is also common, since sometimes food can only be taken in small bites or with liquid.
Characterization of idiopathic dysphagia as psychosomatic has recently been challenged by published case reports documenting instances of "pseudodysphagia" patients suffering from the little-known entity Omohyoid Muscle Syndrome. Should this syndrome be found to have a spectrum of severity (particularly if mild cases of OMS do not demonstrate the typical transient soft neck mass), the medical community may now need to consider ruling out this subtle but truly somatic etiology prior to arriving at true pseudodysphagia, the latter being essentially a diagnosis of exclusion.
Not in and of itself, but fear of food and eating (and potentially gaining weight from eating such foods) can be a key sign to an eating disorder.
Yes, that is known as anorexia nervosa.
Because this is a medical issue, the first person to ask is your family doctor. If they can not help you directly, they will send you to a person who can determine if you have an eating disorder and help you if you do.
binge eating disorder
Not always, but someone with one type of eating disorder is more prone to developing or "meshing in" another eating disorder than the average person is.
An eating disorder is a psychological disorder in which the person has disturbed or abnormal eating habits. Anorexia and bulimia are eating disorders.
Bulimia is the eating disorder.
That sounds exactly like the eating disorder known as Anorexia Nervosa, or anorexia for short.
Every person with an eating disorder has an unhealthy relationship with food.
Binge eating is when a person consumes too much food, typically known as overeating; the person will likely be unable to stop or cut-down their eating intake. Binge eating is a difficult disorder to combat, mainly because of the factors that caused the person to start eating so much. People should take necessary steps to stopping binge eating because the disorder will take control of their life, and may cause death.
no
With symptoms like that, a person may be suffering from a binge-eating disorder, a compulsive-over-eating disorder, or an emotional eating disorder.
You should never strive to become anorexic, or have any type of eating disorder for that matter. Anorexia is a dangerous disorder. It harms a person's health and mental being. It tears apart relationships and is really detrimental to a person.
Family and friends (all relationships, really) play a large role in a person's eating disroder. It can cause an eating disorder or cause it to be worse, but, on the other hand, support can help a person with an eating disroder to recover.
