Anorexia Nervosa

Yes, most anyone can develop anorexia. However, it is even more dangerous with diabetics than for a non-diabetic person, as the health risks go up sharply. Type 1 diabetes can start from childhood and is not weight associated, so I would imagine so. Type 2 is normally weight related.

Anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder that is very common. Recovery from it is very possible, but way too often, the person had already made permanent damages on their bodies. Some health consequences of anorexia would be hair loss, dizziness, depression and abnormal menstruation. More serious consequences of anorexia are heart failure, kidney failure, osteporosis, and even death.

Eating disorders affect teens in many ways. They are usually cause by feeling ugly and wanting to look like someone skinnier. In the long run your basically slowly killing yourself because your organs are shutting down and your developing health problems. Also you usually lose the advantage to see your own children. I know how it is to feel unsatisfied and happy with yourself and the way you look and feel. Being anorexic makes you feel fresh and clean and light and like you've got something on other people(especially heavier ones). But the truth is 85 percent of the time your just depressed and upset about the world around you. Your confused about why you cant be like the fast metabolic girls down the street and the beautiful girls on the cover of Vogue. One good thing about getting it earlier in the teens is its easier to get over it and such. To tell you the truth though Im not even 14 years old yet and I've had an eating disorder for 3 years now. I weighed in at my lowest point at about 72 pounds at 5'2 age 12. Now I weigh in at my most in a long time at 105 pounds. I still haven't got my period, my self esteem is still gone, and every time someone makes a comment about how much bigger i look or even if my mom says " You look great" I begin to cry and freak out because the words YOUR HEAVIER pop in my head! So i don't know if anorexia ever goes away. Especially as long as models, guys, and fast metabolisms are in the world.

It varries, and depends heavily on the individual. For some, dangerous side effects can spring up right away, especially if they take drastic or extreme measures right off the bat. For many, it can take a few months or years for the problems to really begin to manifest themselves. In some cases, there are hardly any dangerous or deadly symptoms or signs that occur.

It depends how long they have been anorexic. If a normal person decides not to eat all of a sudden, they may lose 20 lbs in a month. If one has been anorexic for a while, their body is in starvation mode and is conserving as many calories as possible, so they are losing weight at a slower rate. Some anorexics exercise obsessively, which will cause the weight loss to increase slightly to moderately.

We are always trying to lose weight as per our requirements. There are so many fast weight loss methods; by these methods we may lose 10 pounds in a week but we have to follow very strict diet. Remember, this is not at all healthy and you might regain your all weight. But the recommended weight loss by the nutritionists is 2-3 pounds in a week.

An eating disorder is a condition that makes people eat more, less, or throw up after eating. An eating disorder is a compulsion to eat, or avoid eating, that negatively affects both one's physical and mental health. Eating disorders are all encompassing. They affect every part of the person's life. An eating disorder is a compulsion to eat, or avoid eating, that negatively affects both one's physical and mental health.

About one in every four adults in the US is diagnosed with a mental illness. Some may not be as serious as others however. Its approximately 26.2% total of the US population over age 18 to have any sort of mental illness. However for serious mental illness the number is drastically lower. It is about one in every seventeen adults or approximately 6%. Mental Disorders are also the leading cause of disability here in the US and also in Canada. In addition, about 45% of those with mental disorders also has meet a criteria for a second mental illness. For example, Depression and an Anxiety Disorder would be two different mental illnesses and be part of that 45%. Hope this answers your question. Please stay safe.

Trust Me Hunni, Fasting is not the way to go. Doing 30-60 Minutes of excersize every day will make you lose 1-2(half a kilgram - a kilgram) pounds a week depending on whether the activity is moderate or vigourous, etc. I know for a fact that if you starve yourself you just look bony and disgusting and if you actually work out you'll look hot because you're really toned you can see abs!! :P Wait for the results. Its worth it.

When you have anorexia, your goal is to keep off weight or keep losing it regardless of how skinny you become. In hopes of losing weight you will lose muscle mass and fat. So if an individual suffers from bulimia, they will have acidic erosion of their esophagus.

Yes, sometimes. Many anorexics suffer some form of depression or isolation. A good percent have low self-esteem or low body-image too. Often, they have a lack of support or have some mood swings that can lead to developing anorexia.

== == it is the same i don't have figures with me, but I believe eating disorders affect females more than males. 8,000,000 or more people in the United States have an eating disorder, 90% are women.

It varies based on each individual case. For less-severe cases, therapy (mental, physical, nutritional) is usually done. For more intense cases, therapy is also conducted, but the patient might be admitted into a hospital and fed through an IV or with feeding tubes to quickly get the weight back up to a sustainable and healthy level. Drug therpay or medications can also be used to treat symptoms that are common in anorexics, like OCD, BDD, and depression.

I overcame anorexia about 1 years ago. At the time I saw many people including dietitions, phsycologists, doctors, and school counselors. We would never discuss calories. But I was basically supposed to eat what you see on the Food Pyramid. Fruits, vegtables, grains, dairy, and meat. I also had to take a woman's multivitamin every day along with extra calcium tablets. I was very low on phosphorus, a necessary nutrient for anyone's body, and had to take 4 prescribed phosphorus pills a day.

Woah, woah, woah. Firstly, anorexia nervosais a serious psychological disease. One justdoesn't "become anore[t]ic" on a whim,nor should one attempt todangerously restrict caloriesfor the purposes of losing weight. It's dangerous andfurther more, ineffective. A 125 pound 13 year old does not need to be dieting in the first place, unlessby "diet" we're talking about a "eat wholesome foods and avoid sweets" diet. A 13 year old's body is still developing, and caloric restriction would likely hinder her growth. If you're this young and this concerned with your weight, youprobably need to talk to someone. Eating disorders very commonly arise in younger persons and lead to lifelong complications. Talk to a school counselor, your pediatrician, a doctor, someone. I almost lost avery close friend who has been struggling with an eating disorder since she was around your age. I know these words will fall on manydeaf ears, but I hope a little discouragement will push someone away from the wrong direction.

You don't. If you have bulimia you need to get help. You need to tell your doctor. Bulimia can kill you. It can cause tooth loss, skin disorders, esophagus and stomach damage, it can damage your heart, your liver, your kidneys. Please get help before it is too late.

For hiding from a dentist, don't brush your teeth after throwing up, as it will cause more damage to the teeth. It's just like how you shouldn't brush teeth after drinking cola or something sour, only acids from the stomach make a lot more damage to the teeth. So clean mouth with water instead. Also, I've heard that baking soda should help.

Don't eat too much food before vomiting, it cause more damage. And if a dentist asks you about it, just say no. Don't try to explain too much.

Although it's better to get help.

Anorexics will generally eat foods with low amounts of calories and fats. Many will avoid dairy, eggs (specifically egg yolks in favor of the high-protein, no-fat egg whites), high-calorie sweets, and meat. Many will often watch carb intake, too. Food that are often considered "safe" or acceptable to eat are fruits, non-starchy vegetables, low-calories grains (cereals, breads, oatmeal, etc.), fat-free milk, and vegan versions of dairy (milk, ice cream, butter, etc. as they are often lower in calories and fat).

Anorexia, as defined by a dictionary as a noun, is an eating disorder in which a person resorts to refusal to eat, often accompanied by intense exercise, in order to lose weight; an inability to eat; loss of appetite as a result of disease.

Vomiting is the body's way of expelling dangerous material from the digestive tract. Sometimes, this can be a lifesaver. Prolonged vomit can of course cause some problems. Dehydration is top of this list, but the corrosive acids into the stomach can hurt the esophagus and even damage the teeth. After a long time, malnutrition can even come into play. So, while your body may be doing you a favor by vomiting once in a while, if this happens a lot, it can become part of the problem.

Are you talking about fasting for health? When done properly, fasting has numerous health benefits.

However, if you're not eating because you're trying to lose weight, your metabolism will slow down and you'll end up losing muscle mass.

That is a general characteristic of anorexia.

Actually yes, you can I have the same problem. Especially if I hadn't had breakfast and have to rush to school on an empty stomach. The motion of my car and the fact that I hadn't eaten makes me VERY nauseous and make me throw up. Even if I'm not in a car and stay stationary and i haven't eaten in a long time I'll throw up. It sucks I know :(
