Extractions: Eating disorders can occur with other psychiatric disorders such as depressive disorders, drug and alcohol abuse, and panic or anxiety disorders. Those who suffer from eating disorders can experience a various physical health problems, including heart conditions and failure of the kidneys which could result in death. It is extremely important that you seek help for yourself or someone you know because eating disorders can be treated successfully. 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: Due to cultural ideals of feminine beauty, young women feel a strong desire to be thinner than their bodies naturally tend to be. As a result, they change their eating patterns and they may develop eating disorders. The most common eating disorders are Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia. Both eating disorders are more common among young adults than at any other age. What is Anorexia Nervosa? Anorexia Nervosa is a serious psychological and physiological disorder. Anorexia Nervosa has the following characteristics: The anorexic restricts eating to the point of emaciation. The anorexic may exercise constantly and take laxatives or diuretics to lose weight. The most common ages of onset are 11 and 18, the beginning and ending of adolescence. The disorder is mostly diagnosed in the upper middle class. However, both rich and poor can develop the disorder. Even though anorexics are extremely thin and underweight, most insist that they are not hungry or thin. With psychological help about 1/3 of all anorexics get better. About 20% die of the disorder.

http://www.counsel.ufl.edu/selfHelp/eatingDisorders.asp

Extractions: Eating disorders refers to a variety of disturbed eating behaviors, all associated with using food for emotional reasons. They range along a continuum from chronic dieting to compulsive overeating to cycles of binging and purging to self-starvation. While the frequency and severity of the problems differ, they all have in common turning to food as a way to cope with problems. Often, there is an underlying belief that being thinner would be a solution to troubles and demonstrate proof of control in one's life. Eating disorders are common among the college age population. The majority of individuals with eating disorders are women (about 90%) although men can also have eating disorders. Women are especially vulnerable to eating disorders because of the societal emphasis placed on appearance, external approval, and thinness as an ideal. The most frequent problem is chronic dieting (normative behavior among college women), followed by compulsive overeating, bulimia, and anorexia. The following descriptions of eating disorders focus on these four types, although keep in mind that not everyone fits a "type."
