Study Notes
Eating Disorders
- Anorexia Nervosa: Characterized by extreme dieting, fear of weight gain, and a BMI below normal. Individuals with this disorder severely restrict their calorie intake.
- Bulimia Nervosa: Individuals with bulimia consume food but experience guilt after eating, leading them to induce vomiting to purge the consumed food. This often results in a normal BMI.
- PICA: This disorder involves the consumption of non-nutritious substances, like inedible food, due to cravings or a compulsion to eat such things.
Body Image

- External Body Image: How society or others view an individual's body.

Factors Influencing Body Image:
- Media: The portrayal of beauty in advertising, television, and social media platforms often promotes unrealistic body standards, which can contribute to negative self-perception and eating disorders.
- Society: Societal beauty standards and prejudice based on size can lead to stigma, discrimination, and negative stereotypes about larger bodies, impacting mental health and well-being.
Building Strong and Positive Body Image
- Internal Development: Acceptance of individual variations in body shape and size.
