Study Notes
Understanding Eating Disorders
- Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa tend to run in families, with genetic vulnerability possibly resulting from specific personality types or psychiatric susceptibility.
- Family history of mood or anxiety disorders, disruptions of the hypothalamus, and neurochemical changes are linked to eating disorders.
- Adolescence involves the struggle to develop autonomy and establish a unique identity, with family environments affecting these tasks.
- Adolescent girls expressing body dissatisfaction are at risk of emotional eating, binge eating, low self-esteem, and depression.
- Characteristics of those who develop eating disorders include disturbed eating habits, attitudes, and preoccupation with food, eating, shape, or weight.
- Puberty onset and cultural ideals of slimness can lead to excessive dieting and weight loss as a means to achieve the ideal body.
- Body image disturbance in anorexia nervosa involves extreme discrepancy between self-perception and others' perceptions, leading to extreme dissatisfaction.
- Self-perceptions of the body greatly influence the development of identity in adolescence and often persist into adulthood.
- Clients with bulimia nervosa also report dissatisfaction with their bodies and the belief that they are fat and unattractive.
- The binging and purging cycle of bulimia can begin at any time, before or after unsuccessful dieting, or as part of a "weight loss plan."
- It is important to identify potential risk factors for developing eating disorders to target prevention programs effectively.
- Prevention programs should focus on addressing body dissatisfaction, disturbed eating habits, and attitudes, along with promoting healthy self-perceptions and identity development in adolescents.
