Study Notes
Understanding Eating Disorders and Developmental Factors
- Eating disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa tend to run in families, possibly due to genetic vulnerability, personality types, or disruptions of the hypothalamus.
- Family history of mood or anxiety disorders increases the risk of developing an eating disorder.
- Disruptions of the lateral hypothalamus and ventromedial hypothalamus are linked to decreased or excessive eating behaviors seen in eating disorders.
- Neurochemical changes, such as low norepinephrine levels during starvation, are associated with eating disorders.
- Adolescence involves the struggle to develop autonomy and a unique identity, which can be challenging in overprotective or enmeshed families.
- Autonomy difficulties in such families may lead to controlling eating behaviors as a way to gain control over one's life.
- Identifying potential risk factors for developing eating disorders is crucial for targeted prevention programs.
- Adolescent girls expressing body dissatisfaction are at higher risk of experiencing adverse outcomes and developing eating disorders.
- Characteristics of those who developed an eating disorder include disturbed eating habits, attitudes, and preoccupation with food, shape, or weight.
- The cultural belief that slimness is attractive and societal influences can contribute to excessive dieting and weight loss in adolescents.
- Body image disturbance is prevalent in individuals with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, influencing their self-perception and identity development.
- Self-perceptions of being overweight can lead to the belief that dieting is necessary for happiness, which may contribute to the development of bulimia nervosa.
