Study Notes
Overview of Eating Disorders
- Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions involving more than just food; they relate to various psychological issues.
- Each disorder exhibits an extreme focus on food, eating, and body image, impacting mental and physical health.
Anorexia Nervosa
- Characterized by severe calorie restriction, intense fear of weight gain, and distorted body image.
- Two subtypes: restricting type (weight loss through diet and exercise) and binge-eating/purging type (bingeing followed by purging behaviors).
- Individuals may exhibit obsessive-compulsive symptoms related to food, leading to potential severe health consequences, including multi-organ failure.
Bulimia Nervosa
- Involves episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors like forced vomiting, laxative use, and excessive exercise.
- Common side effects include throat irritation, swollen salivary glands, tooth decay, and electrolyte imbalances, which can lead to serious health risks such as heart attack or stroke.
Binge Eating Disorder (BED)
- Characterized by consuming large quantities of food rapidly and often in secret, leading to feelings of shame or distress.
- Symptoms include irregular eating habits impacting social activities, nutrient deficiencies, and potential weight issues.
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)
- Involves severely limited food variety and intake, extending beyond typical picky eating or dietary restrictions.
- Does not stem from cultural or religious practices, and leads to significant health concerns over time.
Other Eating Disorders
- Purging Disorder: Engaging in purging behaviors without preceding binge eating episodes.
- Night Eating Syndrome: Involves excessive night-time eating, often after waking from sleep.
- Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED): Includes atypical symptoms not fitting traditional categories, such as orthorexia, which involves an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating.
Treatment and Recovery
- It is critical to seek professional help if experiencing symptoms related to eating disorders.
- Support from medical professionals and recovery groups can significantly aid in the recovery journey.
- Overcoming an eating disorder often requires holistic intervention addressing both medical and psychological aspects.
