Extractions: Eating Disorders The most common eating disorders on college campuses are Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia. Persons with Anorexia Nervosa deliberately attempt to lose weight through self-starvation. Even though they may be extremely underweight, they see themselves as "fat", deny any problem with their eating habits, and will resist any efforts made to get them to eat or return to a more healthy weight. Persons with Bulimia engage in frequent, often daily binge eating in which they eat very large amounts of food, often in secret. They will then try to counteract the binge by purging, which may involve self-induced vomiting, use of laxatives, or prolonged fasting and exercise. Persons with Bulimia feel out of control in the cycle of bingeing and purging. Both of these disorders occur more frequently in young women, with Bulimia being the more common. It is estimated that one in twenty college-age women have an eating disorder. Both disorders may have serious medical consequences. While many persons with Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia deny the problem and are reluctant to seek help, they often come to the attention of friends and family. A direct, caring, and nonjudgmental expression of concern about their health by friends and family is often a vital first step in enabling persons with eating disorders to seek appropriate treatment. Help is available in the form of individual psychotherapy, medical and nutritional counseling, and self-help support groups. With proper help, persons with an eating disorder can learn to stabilize their eating patterns, maintain a healthy weight, and become less preoccupied with food.

Publications A detailed booklet that describes symptoms, causes, and treatments, with information on getting help and coping. What do you want to do? Eating is controlled by many factors, including appetite, food availability, family, peer, and cultural practices, and attempts at voluntary control. Dieting to a body weight leaner than needed for health is highly promoted by current fashion trends, sales campaigns for special foods, and in some activities and professions. Eating disorders involve serious disturbances in eating behavior, such as extreme and unhealthy reduction of food intake or severe overeating, as well as feelings of distress or extreme concern about body shape or weight. Researchers are investigating how and why initially voluntary behaviors, such as eating smaller or larger amounts of food than usual, at some point move beyond control in some people and develop into an eating disorder. Studies on the basic biology of appetite control and its alteration by prolonged overeating or starvation have uncovered enormous complexity, but in the long run have the potential to lead to new pharmacologic treatments for eating disorders.

Extractions: Also see Bulima in males and Atypical eating disorders in males Anorexia was first described in males by both Morton (57) and Gull (58). Anorexia in males accounted for approximately six percent of cases seen in an eating disorder clinic (38,59). Anorexia may be underdiagnosed because many physicians, as well as the anorectics themselves, are unaware that this condition occurs in both sexes. The mean age of onset of male anorexia has been reported ranging from as young as 17 years in a British series by Crisp and Burns (47) to 24 years (38,60). Crisp found that the illness was present an average of three and one-half years and that most patients were mildly obese (127.3 percent of ideal body weight, IBW) prior to the onset of illness. Minimal weight dropped to 67.3 percent of IBW (60) during the acute phase of illness. Apparently contrasting socioeconomic groups of origin for male anorectics may represent specific populations, seen in various programs. Andersen and Mickalide (48) found a high socioeconomic group at Johns Hopkins, while Herzog (38) in Boston and Verdereycken and Van den Broucke (59) in Belgium found an even socioeconomic distribution.

Extractions: UW-Eau Claire Counseling Services What is an eating disorder? A severe disturbance in eating behavior, motivated by a fear of weight gain and other personal hurts and fears. Generally people talk about three variations: anorexia nervosa ( refusal to maintain even a minimally normal body weight), bulimia nervosa (binge eating episodes followed by trying to get rid of the extra calories) and binge eating disorder ( binge eating in response to feelings about ourselves or problems in relationships). Who gets eating disorders? Mostly adolescents and young adults. Why is it a problem? Not only does it make us feel worse about ourselves but eating disordered behaviors can cause numerous medical problems like electrolyte imbalance, cardiovascular abnormalities, gastrointestenal disorders, skin problems, hormonal imbalances, bone changes, and neurological abnormalities. Once eating disordered behaviors start in someones life, those behaviors require professional counseling and medical help in order to stop. What causes eating disordered behavior? Many reasons cause people to start.

Extractions: Do I have an Eating Disorder? Definition: When an eating disorder exists, it is recognized by certain behaviors, the most noticeable being an obsession with food and weight. This obsession can lead to compulsive binge eating, starving, forced vomiting, exercising, or other behaviors focused on eating, disposing of, or avoiding food. An eating disorder exists when one's attitude toward food and weight has gone awry, when one's feelings about work, school, relationships, day-to-day activities, and one's experience of emotional well-being are determined by what has or has not been eaten or by a number on the scale. A persons body size does not necessarily reveal whether they have an eating disorder. A person with an eating disorder could be thin, average, or heavy. Athletes are at greater risk of developing an eating disorder. Because some sports (like gymnastics and wrestling) require athletes to be a specific weight or body type, athletes can feel pressure to measure up. Beware of anyone who says you should lose weight or gain muscle quickly. They may be focused on winning and less aware of the danger to your health. Incidence: Nearly 10 million American females and 1 million American males have an eating disorder or related condition.

Extractions: Eating disorders are treatable conditions. Symptoms include a troubled relationship with food characterized by fasting, purging, and/or bingeing behaviors and recurring inappropriate compensatory behavior to reduce or control weight through excessive exercise, laxative misuse, and self-induced vomiting. Beyond food-related behaviors, people with eating disorders may display a wide range of cognitive and emotional problems, including an intense fear of gaining weight, distress over body size and shape, depression, moodiness, dichotomous thinking, low self- esteem, and perfectionism. Eating disorders include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and many other unspecified types. It is important to see professionals, such as physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, and registered nutritionists for accurate diagnosis. Our society, with its obsession with thinness and obtaining the perfect body, has cultivated the development of eating disorders. Research studies found that 52% of adolescents begin dieting before age 14. Among college females, 78% reported bingeing experiences and 8.2% used self-induced vomiting to control weight. The following myths about eating disorders add to the problem and prevent individuals from getting treatment for this potentially life-threatening condition.
