Eating Disorders

Through treatment, anorexics can get better and return to a normal, healthy lifestyle. For not-as-severe cases, intervention usually is food therapy, forced (healthy) weight gain, regain of organ health, along with therapy mentally. This could be through conseling, medications for depression, ect. For more severe cases, intense therapy would be conducted. An example could be feeding through a tube (directly into the stomach) or an IV, along with food counseling, forced (healthy) weight gain, regain of organ health. The mental therapy would probably be more extensive, possibly even involving family members or close friends to show a rebuilt support system to the anorexia sufferer.

Normally bulimia causes weight lossbut in some cases it can cause you to gain weight because your body begins to retain the food that your trying to get rid of in order to help you keep your weight.

if someone with anorexia makes themselves throwup, then the acid can damage your esophagus. it damages your teeth too.

An estimated 1 in every 200 people suffers from an eating disorder. On the other hand, 1 in 5 or so people suffers from disordered eating (chronic dieting, yo-yo dieting, addicted to fast food, ect.).

Anorexia does not specifically "target" any age group in particular. It can happen at virtually any age. It does, however, tend to occur between the ages of 12 and 25.

Yes, if you are very stressed out about, in let's say...The Stock Market, and you just lost a lot of money, you will notice you have not been hungry because of your mistake. You will then lose a lot of weight.

Generally, it is anorexia nervosa. However, someone does not necessarily have to be below weight to have anorexic tendencies, which can be just as dangerous as someone extremely emaciated. These people would be diagnosed as EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified), and need the same psychotherapies as someone with anorexia, without the hospitalization.
Anorexia, and sometimes bulimia.

Many things can lead to an eating disorder:

Anorexia/bulimia nervosa:

1. control

2. unhappiness

3. could be an occupational hazard (Ex// modeling)

Obesity related eating disorders:

1. unhappiness

2. works as a temporary comfort for hurt

3. could be the kind of family that person is from - like if the parents have not regard whatsoever for nutritional values, then this person will never learn what is healthy and will continue to eat the same way they were taught as a child.

Weight can be gained indirectly by starving yourself. Starving yourself increases the likelihood of binge eating so weight may be gained that way. The body also begins to regulate itself so that it loses weight more slowly and gains weight faster when you starve yourself. It is sort of like a protection system to stop the body from being damaged when it cannot get the fuel it needs.

Anorexia is steadily increasing and prevailing throughout the years. Curretnly, an estimated 1 in every 250 people is anorexic.

Millions of people suffer from eating disorders and the numbers are rising thanks to fast food places super sized portions, remember an eating disorder is not just about people who refuse to eat.

It is known as 'B.E.D', or 'Binge Eating Disorder' (also called Compulsive Overeating). It is an official eating disorder listed in the DSM-IV.

5% to 15%. The number is not exact, because there are many varying levels of eating disorder and mental disorders. Also, some with severe mental disorders might refuse food or show signs of an eating disorder, but for wholly different reasons that do not relate to self-image or weight loss attempts.

Pumice is very abrasive. It will grind down the inside of your digestive tract and cause ulcers and sores. It is also not digestible, so it will stay there until it is either passed through or it is removed by surgery.

well its really all in the mental, so therapy and help is the best. sometimes medication.

I honestly believe that you can't "fully recover" from any eating disorder. You can go to counseling to help you realize that your body is beautiful, and that you should love yourself. You could get medication to help as well. There are many things that you can do, but it will always be there. It will always linger, and for many people such as myself; i can never forget it.

Basically the only thing you can do is try to ignore it. Try to move on.

yes, it's a mental and physical disorder which can be fatal. I think Anorexia is bad even though i am... every one tells me i will die but i dont care.... i tried to commit suicide 3 weeks ago xx ok you are being a hypacryte. you say that it is bad when you do it too. ok it is very bad. if you did not get ur period-wait. you will lose all ur baby fat

you Should NOT be trying this you are at an average weight Be happy with the person you are! don't be stupid be happy with your self.... Dont worry be happy!

You may lose 2 pounds, but then your body will hold onto the rest and anything you eat after you are done starving yourself will go righ

Starving to lose weight is very dangerous. A person can lose weight rapidly, but it comes with a great health toll and can be fatal. It is also a sign of the eating disorder anorexia. Doing so, the weight is often regained very qickly once normal eating is restored. The best and proper way to lose weight would be with moderate diet and exercise.

Be honest and don't get scarred. Eating disorders are illnesses with biological basis modified ans influenced by emotional and cultural factors. Individuals with eating disorders have been suffering in silence and it's time to get help. Eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatning, but there is help available and recovery is possible. Here is an 800 number for information and referral 1-800-931-2237. Good luck

hi! go and see the website worldometers.com and there you can watch how many people died today because of hunger and this year because of overweight.

Its not exatly your wuestion, but it is very interesting, too. Just go and see worldometers.com! The site is amazing and counts new every second!

While we all see celebraties, and charities sending food and stuff to countries that are affected by world hunger - a normal person can do this, completely free of charge! Just check out some lists of local charities.

yes because if you do not have the same amount of food as you normally do, your body will not be nourished enough, so that can cause nausea pain

The rate of recovey is very slim. But if you commit everyday towards getting better towards eating enough you can do it! I myself am a recovered anorexic. It is hard but well worth the battle
