What is an eating disorder?

it is a mental health condition. It is an obsession with food and weight that damages a
person's emotional and physical well-being. Many people worry about their weight.
People with an eating disorder go to extremes to avoid gaining weight.
It is an obsession with food and weight that harms a person's well-being. Although we all worry
about our weight sometimes, people who have an eating disorder go to extremes to keep from
gaining weight. There are two main eating disorders: anorexia nervosa and bulimia. What is
anorexia? Anorexia nervosa is an illness that usually occurs in teenage girls, but it also can occur in
teenage boys, and in adult women and men. People who have anorexia are obsessed with being
thin. They don't want to eat, and they are afraid of gaining weight. They may constantly worry
about how many calories they take in or how much fat is in their food. They may take diet pills,
laxatives or water pills to lose weight. They may exercise too much. People who have anorexia
usually think they are fat even though they are very thin. They may get so thin that they look like
they are sick. Anorexia is not just a problem with food or weight. It turns into an emotional and
psychological problem. What is bulimia? Bulimia is eating a lot of food at once (called bingeing),
and then throwing up or using laxatives to remove the food from the body (called purging). After a
binge, some bulimics don't eat or over-exercise to keep from gaining weight. People who have
bulimia may also use water pills, laxatives or diet pills to "control" their weight. People who have
bulimia often try to hide their bingeing and purging. They may hide food for binges. People who
have bulimia are usually close to normal weight, but their weight may go up and down. Symptoms
of eating disorders

The following are possible warning signs of anorexia and bulimia: - Obsession with calories, fat
grams, and food. - Using any medicines to keep from gaining weight (diet pills, laxatives, water
pills). - Throwing up after meals. - Fainting with no explanation. - Fear of gaining weight. - Refusal
to eat. - Wearing baggy clothes. - A self-perception of being fat when the person is really too thin.
What causes eating disorders? Doctors don’t know exactly. Possible causes include feeling
stressed out or upset about something in your life. Developing an eating disorder can also be
caused by feeling like you need to be “in control.” Society also puts a lot of pressure on people to
be thin. This pressure can contribute, too. What are the problems caused by anorexia? Girls and
women who have anorexia may feel cold all the time, and they may get sick often. People who
have anorexia are often in a bad mood. They have a hard time concentrating and are always
thinking about food. People who have severe anorexia may be at risk of death from starvation.
Eating disorder treatment If you are malnourished or very thin, you may be admitted to the
hospital. The doctor will probably want you to see a dietitian to learn how to pick healthy foods
and eat at regular times. Family and individual counseling is helpful. Treatment of anorexia is
difficult, because people who have anorexia believe there is nothing wrong. For successful
treatment, patients must want to change and must have family and friends to help them. People
who have more severe anorexia need care in the hospital, usually in a special unit. Treatment
involves more than changing the person’s eating habits. Anorexic patients often need counseling
for a year or more. Some anorexic patients are helped by taking medicine that makes them feel
less depressed. These medicines are prescribed by a doctor and are used along with counseling.
