It has become an epidemic worldwide, affecting millions of men, women and even some children. This deadly disease does not discriminate; it can affect anyone of any color, shape, size, or religion. I’m talking about the eating disorder epidemic that is plaguing this planet now. Anorexia is described as intense and irrational fear of body fat and weight gain, strong-willed determination to lose weight, and a misunderstanding of their body weight and shape. Bulimia nervosa is characterized by self-destructive “binge” and “clean” sessions. During the “binge” you spend a lot of food in a rapid manner and that the “vomiting” through either self-induced vomiting, laxatives, diuretics, or excessive exercise.

Modern marketing heads have waited to trust young men and women today, almost sending subliminal messages through their advertising and billboards define what they consider beauty looks. Little girls and young teenagers idolize and look up to some of your favorite women of celebrities like Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashlee Simpson, who publicly suffer from eating disorders, which leaves them to believe eating disorder = beautiful. The community is basically telling these impressionable young men and women that it is now “socially acceptable” to starve yourself to death, or to stick your finger down your throat after you eat, or to take a box of laxatives; Heck it’s even beautiful! Even if the media is one of the main causes of this epidemic, a person can be many other factors that can cause this disease. Every person is a combination of factors are different, no two are alike

The same applies to recovery from eating disorders. it’s different for everyone. There is no “cure” for this disease already afflicted you have it for life; you can only be to pick an eating disorder. It is one of the hardest addictions to overcome, and many relapse. After overcoming addiction to alcohol, A.S. teaches you to abstain from alcohol, they reward you with the chip based on how many days you’ve avoided using. After overcoming an eating disorder obviously can not avoid eating, you need to eat to survive. So they then have to learn one of the most difficult and incomprehensible skills is to learn for the addict; moderation. Classic addict mind, all or nothing, black or white, gray just does not exist in their world. In fact, programs like A.S. and NA is, in some ways, to strengthen the “all or nothing” mentality and not teach them the principles of moderation.

Eating disorders can have many serious side effects on the body. Some can be reversed if caught quickly enough, and some are non-refundable. The hair on the head can become thin and eventually fall out, but there is an increase in the fine baby-like hair on the body called lanugo. The skin can become dry hands and feet cold and blue because of poor circulation in their bodies. Mens cycle must first get, and then finally stop when their body weight falls below a certain threshold. Many will have difficulty becoming pregnant due to irregular periods of. Their blood pressure can drop due to insufficient levels of body fluids which then cause dizziness, fainting episodes, and heart palpitations. Also, their heart can eventually shrivels and heart failure may occur, depending on the severity and duration of an eating disorder. Low blood sugar from insufficient food intake and high cholesterol can be found. The liver will not work well and could eventually lead to liver failure.

their body temperature can drop to make anorexic or bulimic feel constantly cold because there is so little subcutaneous fat on their bodies. The amount of vitamins and minerals may drop to unhealthy minimum causes lack of potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, and calcium. Reduction of potassium can cause abnormal heart rhythm and may even cause a heart attack. Muscle weakness and wasting, especially in the upper arm and leg muscles may occur. Bone protein loss and calcium can lead to early onset of osteoporosis and increased risk of fracture. Their strength may be poor, and they can often become depressed and very moody. As you can see there are many complications of health for this disease, which, if left untreated, can eventually lead to death.

This is a grim and secretive disease that requires expert assistance. There are many treatment centers exclusively dedicated to treating men and women with eating disorders like The Renfrew Center or Remus Ranch. Recognizing and treating eating disorders early will greatly increase their chances of recovery. However, for treatment to be successful, they want to change and accept professional help and support from their loved ones. For treatment of anorexia first step is to bring back person, or near, an acceptable weight. This means ensuring that a person has regular meals and spend enough calories so that they will gain weight. With the bulimic, the priority is to restore a consistent pattern of eating, and three meals a day at regular times. Keep a diary of their eating habits and learn about portion control is often useful for them. Drugs such as anxiolytics or antidepressants may be used in the short term to help them through the early stages of treatment. For many, the treatment with a trusted advisor or therapist is useful to provide the “safe” way to talk through what may trigger them or that can come up as they go through the treatment process. Group settings are always important. It is often comforting for them to talk to others who have gone through the same experience and the wide understanding and acceptance without blame, guilt, or judgment.

This mental illness can be one of the most difficult things in life these people to overcome, and unfortunately 50% of patients treated in hospital showed signs of relapse. However, recovery is possible with commitment, patience and support, it can be done.

With regard to eating disorders, attachment theory makes clear pattern long as it can be difficult to realize otherwise. Often, individuals with eating disorders feel disconnected and set apart from the family, and still yearn for a meaningful relationship with these same family. These people feel confused about these conflicting emotions, with little guidance on how to solve them. Attachment theory helps to describe why and how these relationships can become strained, and provides insight into how these relations can be strengthened and utilized in eating disorder treatment. After a brief discussion of the attachment theory, the use of the father-daughter relationship in eating disorder treatment will be discussed, with a focus on specific actions that could result in treatment on the field.

attachment theory

When children develop the expectations of others, future cognitive, behavioral and emotional responses of the mind. These reactions are bound spiritual perception of itself. Thus, if a child sees himself as able, his reaction to another will reflect a sense of flair. Children who perceived their parents as warm and responsive often will perceive themselves as loved and respected, and they develop the expectation that their needs will be met. However, children come to view themselves as rejected and unloved when they see their parents this way, regardless of good intent of most parents. These children learn to expect little from the world around them, and rather than looking to themselves and relationships that meet the needs, develop other methods to deal with emotional stress these individuals.

It is important to note that these coping strategies are based on perception-not necessarily reality people. And, as many doctors know, there can be hugely different attitude for members of the same family. Certainly, the intention is not to blame parents for unmet needs of children, but to help both parents and daughters be sensitive, and willing to change, how they interact and make good its intention to another.

Often, as people are facing unmet attachment needs they turn to insecure resources that attempt to meet the needs. Insecure coping attempts to both reduce or optimize the expression of man’s attachment needs. Those who rely on minimizing strategies away from emotional instability, resulting in limited access emotional and negative, unrealistic view of emotional availability of parents. These individuals tend to believe that no one can always meet their needs, and may even believe that they are undeserving get their needs met. In contrast, those who rely on maximizing techniques tend to turn their attention to their emotional distress, often resulting in a relationship enmeshment and difficulty assessing threats supply others. Thus, these individuals to be riveted by fear of abandonment and may take extreme measures to try to meet the needs of attachments.

People with eating disorders often use both minimize and maximize methods in their efforts to deal with the received attachment needs, but are usually defined as turning away from all the needs, be they emotional, intellectual, or physical, as a way of disavowing the pain of unmet needs.

Thus eating disorders represent one way of coping with attachment concerns. What comes from studies of attachment and eating disorders is a picture of a young woman turning away from emotional distress through externalizing methods, including trying to control her world through trying to control her eating behavior and body. These individuals divert the attention of their bodies, eating behavior and other external plants because they are unable or unwilling to investigate their own psychological state. This diversion allows individuals with an eating disorder to avoid attachment concerns focusing on the more remote and more “attainable” The changes body.

With the father-daughter relationship in therapy

Although not much is known about father-daughter relationships and eating disorders, recent experiments have tried to describe this relationship. Research Rita need for attention doctors’ father-daughter relationship as part of comprehensive care for eating disorders. In my experience as a physician, I have seen that careful consideration of how fathers can be used in eating disorder treatment leads to greater recovery and long-term recovery.

While much attention is given to the mother daughter relationship in eating disorder treatment – and with good reason – often overlooked are the efforts to understand and explore the father-daughter relationship. This can happen for various reasons, whether it is a number of important issues treatment rooms for a limited time, or doctor hesitation. Regardless of the reason, the study and understanding of the father-daughter relationship can be important for treatment and recovery from an eating disorder, and is an important area of ​​focus that can have lasting effects on the lives of both daughter and father. By using five major survey talks and discuss questions such reactions, the importance of utilizing the father daughter relationship in eating disorder treatment is covered.

How is the customer on the relationship with his father?

Often customers report having a distant relationship with their fathers, whether it is due to physical or emotional absence. Descriptions women of their fathers are, “He was always very busy,” “He travels a lot,” and “he was never really about.” Prominent in the responses of many people are emotionally disconnected from their fathers. While this is a common response, the other answer is one of the most loved or protected by his people. Sometimes fathers to act as buffers between the discordant relationship between mothers and daughters. Often the relationship, even among adults, one up, one down relationship where the father takes the traditional role of protecting or “care” daughter.

Exploring this question to customers for medical assistance in understanding the General Dynamics family, and the special relationship between a daughter and father. It also helps to describe some of the client’s belief about the role of the father in particular, and men in general. Defining emotional disconnection between father and daughter can pave the way for such a connection and help the client to heal with the support of family. What message received food, eating and body image? This question deals with more specialized issues that can potentially contribute to the development and maintenance of eating disorders. Customers can respond with answers like “dad teased me that I was chubby,” “he criticized often mom for being fat, and she was not,” and “watch what you eat, or no one wants to date you.” One customers indicated that her father agreed to pay it in order to lose weight. Often people get a very important message connect desirable weight and appearance, whether it is through direct channels such as payment for weight loss, or through more indirect means criticize the mother of one or women in general.

Customers report also received mixed messages about weight, food and appearance. For example, one customer reported chided by his father for taking snacks, when her father insisted she cleaned her plate as he prepared dinner for the family. These customers can often lose contact with intuition hunger and satiety cues when such mixed messages are presented in the family. Sometimes fathers can make love and connection reinforcement to food, such as father playing “chef” and require the family to eat everything that was presented to them as a way confirmed his own needs.

Understanding messages about food, weight and appearance helps the doctor take a step into the world of the client, and gain a greater appreciation for the very real fears that exist on food issues. Recognizing that for some customers, their faith, whether they are worthy of love, connection, and nurturing is intimately tied to the issues of food, can help customers to be more sensitive to their experience, thus strengthening commitment to change this relationship. Inherent in these answers is also the idea of ​​acceptance shall be subject to a certain weight or appearance. Many women begin to question whether they are acceptable because they see that their fathers own their mother may not be right in a given weight. This leads to distrust his own experience and confidence of external evidence of ratification or acceptance. Helping customers make this pattern clearly important therapeutic win-win to help the customer focus of its external evaluations to more internal sources.

What are the expectations for the father of a daughter and attitudes towards women? People with eating disorders often indicate that their fathers have high, unrelenting expectations, whether it’s academic, athletic or financial achievement. Fathers often send their own concerns about their daughters through messages such as “you have to be beautiful and marry someone with money.” It may be the case that these fathers pushing their daughters to academic achievement and “catching a rich man” because it may relieve concerns of the Father to give to their children. Further, this traditional view conveys a message that looks daughter is the most important characteristic in determining its success. But the youth of some of these fathers may push their daughters to achieve athletically, as daughters start college, the focus is often replaced to achieve academically.

For many women with eating disorders is a major fear of disappointing others, and this is no truer than in the father-daughter relationship. Often, these women will go to extreme measures in order to get love, warmth and care they want from their fathers, even if it means pushing themselves to the limits in many areas. To help customers understand starved for emotional attention from their fathers, and to help fathers understand this dynamic, can allow customers to more directly meet the needs of their fathers to be present in helping to meet those needs. Help customers and fathers distinction between acceptance and recognition can help each release unrealistic expectations and instead build a relationship based on the recognition and love.

What are the expectations of the daughter of his father in the family? Contrary to what some customers think, expectations and assumptions within the family are not entirely unidirectional. Often daughters expectations of their ancestors to keep them from developing a strong emotional connection. Some of these expectations, “Dad makes sure we have food on the table,” “my dad can not understand feelings”, “My dad is too busy for me” and “my dad is not interested in my life.” These reactions convey faith father’s only provider, emotionally removed, and unable or unwilling to understand the emotions. Often these customers may not even consider his father as an emotional resource to them in their eating disorder. Exploring the customer’s expectations can help her to take responsibility for its role in emotional disconnection and can help her to challenge her beliefs about the role rigidity.

Often fathers desire to help their daughters in any way, but require an invitation to be allowed in the emotional lives of their daughters. Doctors can do a lot to make this message easier to offer and get by providing support to both customers and fathers in this process, and help each other see good intentions. In some cases it can be very therapeutic for customers to work with male doctors, whether it is individual therapy, group therapy or other structured therapeutic settings so that customers can challenge their belief that they can not understand or express feelings. Working with a male doctor is not afraid to express and exploit feelings of treatment can do much to create a corrective experience for customers.

How does your father react to eating about? Fathers can reply to eat purposes daughter in many ways, to be relying on efficiency (“just eat”) or complete avoiding the issue. Customer responses to this question from “my father never said a word,” to “Have some broccoli. It’s good for you and it will not make you fat.” It is unclear what the response is more worry-no answer at all, which serves to reduce the experience of a daughter and suffering, or entirely practical response that fails to grasp the complexities of eating disorders. Whether this reaction tends to undermine efforts daughter to get help. They can strengthen their faith in that “nothing is wrong,” or the belief that her worries are not valid and that it is not worthy of concern.

avoid the father of eating concerns may be responding to concerns about the experience of seeing the daughter of a man struggling but do not know how to help. This can be very painful for fathers, and rather than pushing through that pain and fear, they can turn to avoid the issue. Tragically, daughters may interpret the silence of his father as a sign of uncaring rather than a feeling of helplessness and may reject efforts father does. Further, these daughters can call into question whether they are deserving of recovery when they interpret silence father’s indifference.

Sometimes when these fathers feel helpless, they may turn to anger doctors with such statements as “it’s your job to make my daughter better.” Although difficult, doctors have to overcome defensiveness, and instead listen to the underlying message in this, as is often the fear and helplessness. Recognizing fear and helplessness, help the father and daughter speak the same language, and provide a bridge between the daughter and her father.

It can also be difficult for some fathers to understand the underlying emotional complexities of eating concerns, and unfortunately may be some efforts on the part of professionals to help fathers understand, given that doctors themselves are not free of bias for use men’s emotions. Physicians must be willing to examine and challenge their own opinions that prevent them from utilizing the fathers of treatment. Some healing is best facilitated within the father daughter relationship, and doctors will be ready to take advantage of every resource available to them.

Utilizing the family dynamics in treatment

In addition to addressing the major exploratory questions, doctors must meet and take advantage of family dynamics in treatment. Is competition or jealousy within the family system? Unfortunately, sometimes family members can try to sabotage the father daughter relationship in order to meet their own needs people. What is the role of a daughter in the family? What would be the cost of the family daughter were to be successful? Dynamics are complex and must be included.

Understanding the family dynamics can help the therapist explained the role that he or she might enjoy providing corrective emotional experience for customers. For example, a therapist providing the role of foster parent where the customer can learn and test limits, and get attention and approval? Is the therapist vulnerable to becoming enmeshed mother, and how she could disentangle itself? Is therapist backup role dad? How could he be more emotional expression, thus allowing the customer to be the same? Can the therapist been nurturing father feelings are valid, and it can be accepted without unrealistic expectations? Physicians must be thoughtful in mind the role they can take to therapeutic benefits. Of course there are appropriate levels paramount in this work, and doctors will be hyper-aware of their own emotional responses when engaging in such. The doctor examine how the father-daughter relationship might be a source of strength and support in the challenging work of recovery. Two interventions can be powerful is to have both a father and daughter write a letter of love to one another, or to spend time talking to one another on the phone.

One customer receiving disappointing grade, called to inform his father of the situation. This daughter had, in the past, felt considerable pressure from his father to achieve academically, and while it was hard for her to tell her father disappointed class, she also requested their support and encouragement. One of the ongoing questions for this client in treatment was “how I can be independent and still keep in touch with my father?” Customer calls to her father were attempts to navigate the challenges of interdependence between adult children and parents. During the phone conversation, the daughter was able to reach out for support and share her disappointment in her class, and her father was able to change the way he related to his daughter by expressing support and encouragement, rather than reiterate disappointment daughter when found. Then, unexpectedly, the daughter received a letter in the mail from his father a few days later, in which he expressed his love, support and encouragement, and in fact gave her permission to not feel pressure from him anymore. He shared his hope that she was happy and found love from him instead of pressure. This letter, in addition to support calls, did so much to heal this father-daughter relationship. Furthermore, the letter was a transitional object daughter could return to the hard times and remind them of the love and support she needed from her father.

In addition to phone calls and letter-writing, doctors are encouraged to enlist the support of fathers by offering them a therapy session, whether it is physical attendance family meetings or phone. At a family meeting the father who said he would pay his daughter to lose weight apologized to his daughter for these hurt. He acknowledged the pain he caused his daughter and he asked how he could support it. These efforts to join the father in the treatment and recovery can provide a healing balm to families. Throughout the subsequent treatment of the client, she relied on the experience with his father as a sign of his love and good intent toward her.

Another effort that can have lasting impact on improving family relationships is to encourage the father to his daughter. While mothers and daughters can often find common ground for communication, this can be challenging for fathers and daughters. It can help to have a certain function or focus on the time together, such as the presence of a sporting event, participating in hobbies, or playing board games. One daughter described Friday as she and her father attended a professional hockey game. Describing this event, she reported, “this was the first time my dad and I have really talked. We talked for three hours straight just two of us.” Such interactions allow fathers and daughters a chance to really get to know one another. This can be especially useful for daughters who have strict expectations of the role of fathers. For example, it may be informative for the daughter to learn that her father has interests and role outside of being “hand.”

cultivate father daughter relationship can buoy daughter during treatment and recovery. So many of these people hard with a sense of worth, and still receive messages from their fathers asserting their value and the value can have lasting effects. One daughter spoke about her father sit her down and tell her that he loved her, that she had value beyond measure, and that it did not matter what her accomplishments or failures were. Direct messages like this are often required for these clients and their feelings of self-loathing can be strong and all-encompassing. This daughter, after one such conversation with his father, reported “my father loves me, so maybe I’m okay.” This love and acceptance, send a loving father, worked as a bridge this daughter to achieve a greater sense of their own value. As she received the love and approval of her father, she was able to strengthen their faith in its value. This message of love is most powerful when it comes from loved ones with a common history.

There are caveats to deal with his father daughter relationship in eating disorder treatment. First, it is important to know how this customer can be unique. Physicians must strive to understand the complexities of the relationship. Utilization father daughter relationship may not always be right, so that if the father has competition program, if the father is not ready to address your concerns, if there is high rigidity in the family system, or if there is a history of incest or abuse committed by the father . Physicians must mobilize all their clinical skills and do well to consult and monitoring to determine whether undertaken father in treatment would be therapeutic. And if in the course of this work, it becomes clear that the father can not be used as a source of support, the physician must be willing to re-direct efforts, and will help customers recognize that the father can not be a source of support. While many customers have not taken fathers for support, it can still be incredibly difficult to come to terms with the fact that the father can not be obtained. This is a loss that will be grieved by the customer. While doing this work, the physician must be sensitive to the developmental needs of the client. In exploring development needs, doctors do well to ask: “Where is that customers stuck?” The developmental age is this client? What are her needs at this point, and how could stimulant father help to meet these needs? For example, is the daughter of development entity 13 years where she has a company structure with space to develop their own individuality her? Or is it mature 11 years old who feel overwhelmed by the thought of growing up and security needs love from his father? Exploring these developmental questions can guide physicians to the most valuable areas of treatment foci.

In addition, the sensitivity of developmental client has a clear understanding of the client’s readiness for change. Physicians must be cautious about moving into this work too quickly without having a clear picture of the family system. Moving too fast can overwhelm the client, family and doctor. Many customers are not ready at the beginning, to take advantage of their fathers in the treatment, and this must be broached with patience and care. Pacemaker is the first in this work, which is to provide a clear path of work so that fathers and daughters alike will know what to expect. Exploring client hesitations will help your doctor assess accurately the safety of this work and help the doctor know when it is safe to push forward and when it is important to slow down.

Conclusion

Attachment theory is well suited for conceptualizing complex family ties often present in eating disorder treatment. Father-daughter relationship is one potentially important effects, and careful evaluation and appropriate use of this relationship can be the key to successful treatment and long-term recovery.

What is the most dangerous psychological disorder today? If you guess eating disorder, then you’re right. According to WebMD, eating disorders are diseases that cause a person to adopt harmful eating habits. So this is to make WebMD just a great resource, or is this really true, and eating disorders really dangerous disease? Most people who suffer from eating disorders are often mocked for their problems, and they are not taken seriously. People should not be misinterpreted or unbelievers suffer from an eating disorder because it is, in fact, a very serious illness. There are, however, minor cases of eating disorders, but there are too many deaths associated with them, so we have to take this matter very seriously and approach it with caution.

Why are eating disorders greatest killers among many different psychological problems? This is because the media, as well as the effect of disorder is dramatic and deadly body. Today, the media in our lives, no matter where we go. Television, radio and news, journals, newspapers and the Internet, the media play a major role in the spread of ideas, norms and style to people. Media spread information very quickly to millions of people. Media is about people no matter where they turn, they face it every single day in some form. So, how has media related to eating disorders? , This question and many other questions will be answered after we get a better understanding of what an eating disorder is, its symptoms, statistics, and ways to prevent and treat it. I will however focus on anorexia and bulimia because they are more influenced by the media than overeating side effects.

People with eating disorders obsess about their consumption of food, and they spend a lot of time thinking about weight and body image of them. Their body is badly affected both emotionally and physically. People with eating disorders can suffer from a variety of symptoms and not all get the same symptoms and they vary from person to person. According to Help Guide-Mental Health Issues, even if anorexia is the most light eating disorder in the media, is the most common eating disorder bulimia.

A person suffering from anorexia herself as fat when they are, in fact, skinny and lightweight. Their weight does not match his height, activity level or age. They get a bad memory, experience depression, a fear of gaining weight, feel light headed and often tired. Women with anorexia may have trouble with their menstrual cycle as missed or delayed, as well as problems getting pregnant. Woman who are pregnant have a higher risk of miscarriage and a higher risk of having to return their child to the C-section. People suffering from anorexia may also have muscle and joint problems, kidney stones, kidney failure, anemia, bloating, constipation, low levels of potassium, magnesium and sodium in their bodies, hypotension, bradycardia and heart failure. Some physical symptoms displayed by a person suffering from anorexia are dry or yellow skin, brittle nails, more hair growth on their body, thin and brittle hair. A person with anorexia can also get cold easily, bruise easily, and feel down a lot.

A person suffering from bulimia can get the same effect as a person suffering from anorexia since both disorders involve the loss of a major and rapid weight, which leads to very unhealthy changes in the body. Characteristics between Anorexia and bulimia suffer different in the way of suffering from bulimia would eat a lot of food in a short time and then force themselves to vomit, when people with anorexia just do not want to eat altogether. People with bulimia nervosa also abuse laxatives and go on a strict diet constant and rigorous practice. Those who suffer from eating disorders commonly affect emotional, psychological, behavioral and social. Emotional and psychological changes include increased anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, guilt and low self-esteem. Several changes in the behavior of a person suffering from an eating disorder is dieting, frequent visits to the bathroom after eating, changes in fashion, constantly checking their weight. Some social changes in a person suffering from an eating disorder can be isolation, of being anti-social, avoid places where food is concerned, and loss of interest in hobbies. Other physical signs of eating disorders in general are swelling, decreased metabolism, sore throat, stomach pain, heartburn and hypoglycemia; leading to irrational thought, shaking, confusion, irritability and Comas

Eating disorders have a major impact on the community of small and large scale. which means both individuals and society as a whole dedicate a substantial part of his life to the struggle to cope with eating disorders. A lot of money and time go to the trouble of dealing with eating disorders, as well as in efforts to treat and prevent them. Eating disorders are very common among celebrities, mainly because their profession puts pressure on them to be skinny. The majority of the celebrities we see in the media are all skinny, and most of them are anorexic or bulimic. Fans of these celebrities look on the carcasses of their idols, and they want to be like them. The problem with this is anorexic and skinny celebrities do not make good role models for their fans the skinny figures are not healthy to follow. Famous people believe that to succeed they must be skinny. This is not true. Celebrities Hold their appearance and body image media where fans can see them and get the wrong idea that the appearance of their idol are acceptable when their idols are only trying to lose weight for their “success” of them. The weight of the article Monica Seles that “Women in society have much tougher pressure to be thin.” It’s like a cycle; celebrities are skinny to impress their fans and companies. They send their fans the wrong idea, so their fans lose weight. In the end, everyone has the idea that they must be thin and they have to lose weight, so skinny becomes the norm.

According to the article “eating disorders and body image in the media” by Heather Mudge, the media can be very hypocritical because while media shares news about celebrities dying from eating disorders, also contains photos of relief celebrity model as if everyone should look and the like. We could also see an article about a man dying from eating disorders in a magazine, and on the next page, we could see a light model, pose a popular product. The lightweight pictures of people in the media give consumers the false impression that being skinny is fine and there is nothing wrong with it, when in fact, be thin can lead to their death of the individual. Consumers spend so much money on products and services that will help them lose weight, such as weight loss drinks, nutritional bars, pills, laxatives, weight loss videos, and they even take weight loss classes. People abuse drugs and also liquid in order to force themselves to lose weight, it can be very stress on the body. When we do something against our natural body, hurt our bodies and put us at high risk of further health problems in the future.

So many celebrities suffer and die from eating disorders. Singer Karen Carpenter was struggling with anorexia and bulimia, and after she went to therapy for years, everyone thought she had recovered and was doing better. After she was found dead on the bathroom floor in the house of her parents. She suffered a heart attack and it was said that the result of that was because she had abused drugs Ipecac years. Ipecac is a liquid that is used to induce vomiting, it is often abused by anorexics and bulimic.

According to the South Carolina Department of Health, about seven million American women and one million American men have an eating disorder. About one in every two hundred women in America have anorexia, and two or three of the hundreds of women bulimia. About half of Americans know at least one person who has an eating disorder. According to the National Association of anorexia and related disorders, by 5% to 10% of people diagnosed with anorexia die within 10 years of having the disease, about 18% to 20% of people will be dead after the disease for 20 years and only 30% to 40 % of people will recover from it. It is very scary fact that the percentage of deaths for people with anorexia is twelve times higher than the rate of death of all causes of death for women between 15 and 24 years old. (South Carolina Department of Health). Nearly 20% of people who have anorexia die early of health problems and heart disease because of their eating disorder. About 95% of people with eating disorders are between 12 and 25 years, about 50% of women aged 11 and 13 see themselves as overweight, and 80% of 13-year-old has, at some point, tried to lose weight. It is a very sad fact that over 80% of women who have made an effort to go to get treatment for an eating disorder them, have not received the full treatment they need to fully recover. This often leads to disorders recurrence and patients hurt their health even more. Obviously, eating disorders very serious and they should be treated as soon as possible.

Because eating disorders are so important problems facing society today, researchers have used psychological theories to try to solve these problems, including treatment group, medical treatment and nutritional counseling. Eating disorders are treatable, and who has an eating disorder is to have a chance to get better, however, if the media continue to idolize skinny celebrities and recognizes the very thin size, it will continue to assist people trying to lose weight. Having an eating disorder is like a very bad habit that needs to stop. A lot of people do not have the ability to stop this bad habit on their own, so they need help from professional doctors and even family. There are several different methods are used to treat eating disorders. Since eating disorders affect individuals both physically and psychologically, for the treatment of eating disorders has to satisfy both physical and mental aspects of the disorder. Medicine used to help a patient get better. In order to get a positive long-term effects of treatment, patients who receive a combination of medical and psychological help for their disorder. Some treatments that psychologists use to determine the problem and treatment of eating disorders is cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, rational emotive therapy, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.

Cognitive behavioral therapy allows psychologists to see the thought process of the patient, interpersonal therapy dealing with difficult relationships with others, rational emotive therapy involves learning unhelpful beliefs of the patient, and psychoanalytic psychotherapy involves looking at past experience of the individual. All this information helps psychologist found the problem and come up with a solution. Treatment Group is a useful part of treatment does suffer from similar diseases eat come together to discuss their problems. Groups are able to discuss coping strategies, ask and answer questions, and talk about ways to change their behavior. Treatment is necessary to make sure that the patient gets the full treatment. Medications such as antidepressants may be prescribed by an experienced doctor who knows your situation to help treat illness. Nutritional counseling is the only effective and a good way to help treat eating disorders. Dieticians and nutritionists can help patients understand what well-balanced diet and what foods they should eat each day. Nutritional counseling can also help patients face their fears about food and get over their fear of being afraid to eat.

A lot of people are confused about what “normal eating” so they need nutritional advice to help them get back on track. Not that many people who suffer from eating disorders go to get treatment for it. According to the South Carolina Department of Health, only 1 in 10 people who suffer from eating disorders going to get treatment. The cost of outpatient treatment is very expensive. The cost for outpatient treatment can be over $ 100,000. In the US, the cost of treatment for eating disorders in today is anywhere from $ 500 to $ 2,000. On average, one in inpatient treatment has to pay $ 30,000 a month. People with eating disorders need about 3-6 months of inpatient care to recover. The cost of treatment for an eating disorder is ridiculously high, and high costs could be the reason why people do not go to get treatment. It is very difficult for most families to pay for treatment of the disease, especially when insurance does not usually cover the cost of eating disorder. Another way to reduce the number of people with eating disorders is to educate people about the dangers of eating disorders through the media. The media is a good tool to help educate people about the dangers of eating disorders, but it is also a tool that hurts people with Verizon burden of skinny people suffering from such diseases. Another way of eating disorders can be treated and minimizes through “Doll experiment”. People were shown that if a person had the same characteristics as the Barbie doll, the body would not be able to stay because of the awkward shape and structure. This is a good way to show people that Barbie doll is not necessarily what women today should aim to look like. Similarly, the celebrities we see on TV are not the people we should try to look like either.

I believe that as long as the media continues to idolize thin celebrities, effects of education on the dangers of eating disorders through the media will not be effective. For every step they take place to solve the problem, they take two steps back by continuing to idolize thin celebrities. It is not a question of what effects are more likely to cause an eating disorder, but it is a fact that the media encourage people to develop and maintain eating disorders. There are other causes of eating disorders, such as human or biological factors, but if the problem of media influence eating disorders can be changed, there will be fewer cases of eating disorders. We must take one step at a time to solve this very serious problem of eating disorders, and a great place to start is to change the fact that the media impact of eating disorders. There is no one cause of eating disorders, but the media has a big impact on them since the media covers so many. Personally, I think the treatment group very useful in the treatment process of eating disorders. Victims of eating disorders are able to ask questions and get answers to better understand their position.

This is very useful and it could make victims of eating disorders feel more comfortable knowing that there are others out there who are going through the same thing. Unfortunately, people are put under so much pressure to be thin by watching skinny celebrities all over the media that idolized. If they are idolized allows it means they are good role models and their behavior should follow? No, most of the time, the reputation is not good for photos. I believe that early childhood education is very important because I think that eating disorders begin at an early age when children are naive and susceptible to change others. Educating young kids about the media and how to criticize the media is a very important step to reduce the number of people with eating disorders. Since the media has such a great influence on eating disorders, children should be able to really criticize it and not fall victim to their systems.

Personally, I do not think that the media will always be an effective resource for people to learn the truth and to learn about eating disorders. The media spread a lot of misinformation and tend to misinterpret the messages they hear on TV. Companies trying to sell products to reduce our weight and make us look “beautiful” by spending millions of dollars on advertising. Consumers spend a lot of money and time trying to lose weight and to purchase these products that are not what the body needs. I believe that our bodies know what they have always’s body is different. Everyone has a different metabolism and shape, and we have to learn how to love ourselves as we are. We need to teach children at an early age what they say on television is not what it is cracked up to be and they need to have confidence, because if they do not create an image for themselves, the media will do it for them.

Some statistics show that 1% of American women anorexic, not many people have no idea how dangerous this disorder. Thousands of teenagers die each year because of anorexia and eating disorders. Society plays an important role in helping solve this growing problem and make adolescents aware of the dangers.

If we want to see anorexia impact on society, its enough to see death statistics and emotional problems that they have to understand how serious it is. There are groups of people especially online that support anorexia as a lifestyle they give tips and advice to them to hide their problems from family and keep a strict diet.

I think we need to change the way society values ​​people, there are testimonies of young people who were very happy, but when they started dieting because of emotional problems that they had caused by criticism of their weight, their lives were miserable . Teenagers want to be loved and accepted in the community, so when people criticized their body or appearance, sometimes frustration so big, they do everything to be approved to be like.

As a result, young people start dieting and exercising with obsession, to the point that they starve themselves and hurt their bodies. They also see any celebrities in TV that perfect and they want to be like them, very thin.

Anorexia is an emotional problem and can not be solved just with drugs, you need to understand that what she is doing is wrong and is damaging her self. She needs to feel loved and accepted by her family to recover from this disorder, she needs to change her identity.

Society causes a negative impact on teenagers, they are gaining wrong values ​​from the media and take reputation as a model of success. Parents need to make their child aware of this problem and its consequences.

boozing and drinking parties were pretty obvious when I was in college. Most heavy drinkers was easy to spot because of sloppy their life style and poor health. However, eating disorders were kind of format went and watched the illness, so that they were more covert and difficult to spot. Even then, I got to meet some of the girls who had eating disorders. Perhaps, with workaholism and my over-training, I had something in common with them.

Psychology course, I took the view eating disorders eating disorder behavior problems. Other books and eating disorders group suggested that the problem was rooted in the family. Even though I made a few angry parents of anorexic girls, it was hard to say which came first. Angry parents or daughters with eating disorders.

While family dynamics play a role, I’m a strong believer in biochemical side of mental and physical health. For example, zinc supplements can help in the treatment of anorexics. Compulsive eaters are often lacking certain nutrients such as vitamin B12, iron and protein. (Strict vegans take note.) Alcoholics are almost always lacking B vitamins and protein.

In some ways, an alcoholic can often be considered to have an eating disorder. Consider alcohol experiments with rats. When rats were starved or given nutrient deficient food and drank more alcohol. Without surprise, they often do the same.

With the exceptions of some strong athletes, most alcoholics poor stomach. They will consume “empty calories” in the form of alcohol or junk food before choosing to eat a good meal. This depletes vitamins, which makes them even hungrier. But instead of regular meals, they will reach for more alcohol. And the downward spiral continues.

is a direct link to this addiction and eating disorders? One notable study was one of over 2,000 female twins (from Virginia population-based two-register). Many of female twins in this study, who had bulimia, also alcoholism. So, this can lie back in the theory of alcoholism and eating disorders as being genetic. Which is good news and simple to treat but with drugs or psycho-therapy. Relief from both ailments can be as simple as vitamin and mineral supplements or better nutrition.

Get out the video camera … here comes the baby’s first bite of food. For many parents, this is a joyous step leading to a lifetime of shared memories and happy mealtimes. Unfortunately, for parents of children with feeding delays and disorders, this is the beginning of a long and painful journey that will include experts from the gastrointestinal tract, breast clinics, speech therapists and occupational therapists.

Many early feeding problems are symptoms of a diagnosable problem and can be corrected. GI impairment, such as reflux or delayed gastric emptying can be treated by therapy. Oral motor delays can be aided in speech therapy. Occupational therapy can ease oral texture sensitivity. Children with autism spectrum also prone to selective eating. These children can benefit from behavior modification to encourage a wider range of food consumption. With time and proper intervention, children who can not eat properly due to developmental or physical impairment can gradually improve.

What about the children who will not eat? This is different than a child who can not eat for definable reason. Yes, a child who will not eat. A child who passes all the tests for autism spectrum disorders and even show Extreme selective eating. A child who is shown to have no motor delays intake and still chokes when eating. A child who gags and throws just too close to unaccepted food. A child who has no hyper-sensitivity to touch, light or sound, but still can not tolerate certain textures in his mouth. A child who has gone through various gastrointestinal tests and procedures and has been given no diagnosis. A child who simply do not eat enough volume or variety to sustain normal growth for no explained reason.

It seems as if children are really afraid of food. Perhaps GI illness or choking event of the birth may be the cause in some children, but in most cases the source of fear is mystery.There is so little written on the subject of childhood food phobias and most literature groups it together with difficulty swallowing. The term food neophobia, which is described as the fear of new foods, is just now openly discussed in the field of pediatric chest diseases and is also referred to as Food Avoidance Emotional Disorder (food). The diet mostly community does not recognize special food refusal case. Most dietitians will tell parents that children will try to estimate with repeated exposure and to explain information on picky eating. Feeding therapists working at major pediatric hospitals, including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, handle food refusal behavior problems and completely ignore the fear and anxiety that many of these children show when faced with certain foods. The Kart Rini Clinic in Oregon and Duke Center for Eating Disorders are the only hospital with a program specifically designed to handle food phobias.

Parents of children with this type of extreme food refusal must first take steps to restore positive mealtime dynamics. If poor eating has been running since birth, there is a good chance that meals and materials for food have become sources of negativity and tension. Sit down with your child and have a shared meal. Let your child choose a place where they feel comfortable and will be least likely to gag, choke or vomit smell or be too close to the offending food. Have your child watch you eat a variety of food. Reassure your child that you are not going to make them eat and trying to create a regular, mealtime atmosphere. If it means that the child sits and watches and eats nothing, it’s all right. The goal here is to get the child sitting at the table, watching the family eat, conversion, spend time with family, and hopefully get curious as to why everyone is enjoying their food. Emphasis on light, pleasant conversation and not on what you are eating.

avoid making special food for your child in this family meals. Your child will be expected to participate in the table and choose the food the rest of the family is available. A child can be catered never work up the courage to explore new foods. Put something on the table that the child will eat, maybe bread, and then sit down with the family.

Next, ensure that the child is at every meal hungry. Keep snacks to not less than two hours before a meal and then at the proposed time. A well-timed, planned snacks can help provide a balance between demanding baby food while offering enough preferred foods to keep your child happy. Beitar is no longer allowed. A hungry child may push themselves to break out of their comfort zone, or at least increase the amount of exposure to the food they are eating and sitting with the family for a meal.

Most importantly, consider adjuvant nutrition that your child continues to work with the underlying assessment of their concerns. This will allow normal growth to maintain without daily battles and fights. If the child is able to drink high calorie, high protein formula with added vitamins and minerals can be offered. Bright Beginnings pediatric drink comes in both soy-based formulas and milk products and provides 100% of the vitamins and minerals when four cans consumed. Maybe even a feeding tube necessary to ensure adequate nutrition so the focus can move away from food and towards the establishment of a happy family. Additions can be given between meals so that the child has time to be hungry for a meal.

Many children with food phobias and specific eating behavior problem. This is not surprising given the daily battle of food and constant worry and anxiety on the part of caregivers of proper nutrition. Some of these issues can be solved itself when the pressure to eat is removed.

When the family meals at least one caregiver are put in place and positive associations with eating is established, the child may be adding new food. The steps can be very slow. Maybe your child can put food on the plate but did not actually eat it or touch it. Perhaps the child will proclaim that they now want food without even coming close to her. This is all part of the process of healing.

Continue to get child psychiatric help but stop special treatment causes increased anxiety, increased behavior problems at home, and unravels relaxed meals and positive eating experience.

In time, a lot of patience and praise for tiny steps, a child with food phobias may broaden the adoption of their food just enough so that things so many families take for granted, such as going to restaurants and pizza party, are possible. While it may take years for anxiety over food to reduce, feeling normal can be reached, though. In the meantime, caregivers should focus on enjoying their children. A healthy diet is important, but a healthy family dynamic is important.

The two main causes of eating disorders are fashion and culture. In other words, without fashion or culture, the pressure to be thin would not be so pervasive in modern society. For many years, fashion models be as thin as possible, and people who were underweight (of health standards) were considered to be “too fat” to be models. If you focus only on the world of modeling, you would see a lot of pressure to be thin take its toll.

However, this affects more than just models. Modern culture as a whole is constantly barraged with images of extremely thin women and girls who see these models and look at them as models of beauty are conditioned to think that they should look like this. Then, when people are conditioned to see fashion models and ideals of beauty, they start thinking about girls they date should look to thin too. Because of this, the views of the community on the weight had to distort, and even normal girls of normal weight feel inadequate when they have to compare themselves to girls who are starving themselves and really be noticed more by men.

However, there are other causes of eating disorders, the community pressure. Even though culture and fashion may have changed our perception of modern beauty and reduced weight which is recognized as socially acceptable or social ideal, ultimately, we are the people responsible for our actions and how we interpret input from the fashion industry. Another reason why girls often resort to eating disorders is because they need to feel like they have control over some part of their lives, and they can get a false sense of power when they are hurting their bodies.

This is a big reason why it is so hard to help people who are desperate to be thin. If this is the only part of their lives that they think they can manage it, then try to help them involves not just to help them get back to a normal weight. These victims are too intent on control anything in his life to let it go when someone mentions that they are looking too thin. Plus, by this point, they are often dependent on actions they took and it is no longer easy to turn their habits.

One of the main causes of eating disorders is a little thing called puberty. When teens get older and hormones begin to change her, she landed a screen to be more emotional (ie more susceptible to depression) and simultaneously more influenced by peer pressure. Similar to eating disorders is much higher when you are experiencing physical changes and emotional changes – plus, you have to spend time around other teens will often try to put you down to make themselves feel better. These factors all make eating disorders more likely.

Finally, one of the major causes of eating disorders is that someone simply does not like herself. Anyone who has low self-esteem sometimes deliberately hurt themselves by eating disorders.
