Bulimia Nervosa: An eating disorder that is characterized by a cycle of binge eating (BULIMIA or bingeing) followed by inappropriate acts (purging) to avert weight gain. Purging methods often include self-induced VOMITING, use of LAXATIVES or DIURETICS, excessive exercise, and FASTING.Anorexia Nervosa: An eating disorder that is characterized by the lack or loss of APPETITE, known as ANOREXIA. Other features include excess fear of becoming OVERWEIGHT; BODY IMAGE disturbance; significant WEIGHT LOSS; refusal to maintain minimal normal weight; and AMENORRHEA. This disorder occurs most frequently in adolescent females. (APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 1994)Bulimia: Eating an excess amount of food in a short period of time, as seen in the disorder of BULIMIA NERVOSA. It is caused by an abnormal craving for food, or insatiable hunger also known as "ox hunger".Eating Disorders: A group of disorders characterized by physiological and psychological disturbances in appetite or food intake.Binge-Eating Disorder: A disorder associated with three or more of the following: eating until feeling uncomfortably full; eating large amounts of food when not physically hungry; eating much more rapidly than normal; eating alone due to embarrassment; feeling of disgust, DEPRESSION, or guilt after overeating. Criteria includes occurrence on average, at least 2 days a week for 6 months. The binge eating is not associated with the regular use of inappropriate compensatory behavior (i.e. purging, excessive exercise, etc.) and does not co-occur exclusively with BULIMIA NERVOSA or ANOREXIA NERVOSA. (From DSM-IV, 1994)Body Image: Individuals' concept of their own bodies.Vomiting: The forcible expulsion of the contents of the STOMACH through the MOUTH.Feeding Behavior: Behavioral responses or sequences associated with eating including modes of feeding, rhythmic patterns of eating, and time intervals.Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: Categorical classification of MENTAL DISORDERS based on criteria sets with defining features.

It is the defining characteristic of the disorder ANOREXIA NERVOSA.Cognitive Therapy: A direct form of psychotherapy based on the interpretation of situations (cognitive structure of experiences) that determine how an individual feels and behaves. It is based on the premise that cognition, the process of acquiring knowledge and forming beliefs, is a primary determinant of mood and behavior. The therapy uses behavioral and verbal techniques to identify and correct negative thinking that is at the root of the aberrant behavior.Hunger: The desire for FOOD generated by a sensation arising from the lack of food in the STOMACH.Hyperphagia: Ingestion of a greater than optimal quantity of food.Satiation: Full gratification of a need or desire followed by a state of relative insensitivity to that particular need or desire.Satiety Response: Behavioral response associated with the achieving of gratification.Social Control, Informal: Those forms of control which are exerted in less concrete and tangible ways, as through folkways, mores, conventions, and public sentiment.Psychiatric Status Rating Scales: Standardized procedures utilizing rating scales or interview schedules carried out by health personnel for evaluating the degree of mental illness.Impulsive Behavior: An act performed without delay, reflection, voluntary direction or obvious control in response to a stimulus.Affect: The feeling-tone accompaniment of an idea or mental representation.

Psychopharmacotherapy of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder. (1/225)

Pharmacotherapy for anorexia nervosa is considered to be of limited efficacy. However, many studies suffer methodological limitations, and the utility of newer drugs in the treatment of anorexia has not been examined yet. Although there have been more fruitful investigations on the efficacy of medication in the management of bulimia nervosa, there are still many unresolved issues regarding the optimal management of partial remission during the acute treatment phase and the intensity and duration of pharmacotherapy to achieve optimal prophylaxis. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) control the binge urges in binge-eating disorder, but more trials are required to investigate the utility of SSRIs and other agents in maintenance treatment. We review the current status of psychopharmacotherapy for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder and evaluate the merits of newer agents in the treatment of these disorders.  (+info)

Knowledge of oral and physical manifestations of anorexia and bulimia nervosa among dentists and dental hygienists. (2/225)

Despite the crucial role oral health care providers can have in the early identification of eating disorders and the referral and case management of patients with these disorders, little is known concerning their knowledge of oral complications of these disorders. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge among dentists and dental hygienists concerning the oral and physical manifestations of eating disorders. Employing a randomized cross-sectional study, data were collected from 576 dentists and dental hygienists randomly selected from the American Dental Association and the American Dental Hygienists' Association. Results indicated low scores concerning knowledge of oral cues, physical cues of anorexia, and physical cues of bulimia among study participants. More dental hygienists than dentists correctly identified oral manifestations of eating disorders (p=.001) and physical cues of anorexia (p=.010) and bulimia (p=.002). As the first health professional to identify oral symptoms of eating disorders, the most important task of the dental care provider when identifying oro-dental signs of eating disorders is to ensure that the patient receives treatment. Implications for education include the addition of conceptual, procedural, and skill-based curricula objectives addressing etiologic assessment and patient communication--thus increasing behavioral capacity for delivery of restorative care and patient referral.  (+info)

The Eating Disorders Section of the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA): development and validation. (3/225)

OBJECTIVE: Development and validation of the Eating Disorders Section of the Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA). It is a package of questionnaires, interviews and evaluation techniques, designed to generate DSM-IV and ICD-10 based diagnoses of anorexia, bulimia nervosa and the respective partial syndromes in epidemiological studies, in subjects who are 7 to 17 years old. The parents are interviewed in all cases, as are young people aged 11 or more. METHODS: 174 girls, divided into three groups, were assessed with the Eating Disorders Section of the Development and Well-Being Assessment: 48 with eating disorders, 55 clinical controls (with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder or gastrointestinal disease) and 71 community controls. The sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of the assessment were investigated by comparing the Development and Well-Being Assessment diagnoses with independent psychiatric diagnoses. The test-retest reliability was investigated by reapplying the measure on 55 subjects after 2 or 3 weeks. RESULTS: For the detection of any DSM-IV and ICD-10 eating disorder, the final Development and Well-Being Assessment diagnosis had a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 94%, positive predictive value of 88%, and a negative predictive value of 100%; there was 95% agreement between the initial and repeat diagnoses (a kappa of 0.81). CONCLUSION: The Eating Disorders Section of the Development and Well-Being Assessment has suitable psychometric properties for use in clinical and epidemiological studies.  (+info)

Early experiences and their relationship to maternal eating disorder symptoms, both lifetime and during pregnancy. (4/225)

BACKGROUND: There is some evidence that early sexual abuse is an aetiological factor for eating disorder. However, there is sparse information from large-scale, non-clinical studies. AIMS: This study was designed to explore which early experiences, recalled during pregnancy, were associated with both lifetime and antenatal eating disorder symptoms in a community sample. METHOD: Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted of data from questionnaires administered during pregnancy to a community sample of pregnant women. RESULTS: Recall of parental mental health problems and of early unwanted sexual experiences were independently associated with both lifetime eating problems, laxative use and vomiting during pregnancy, and marked concern during pregnancy over shape and weight. CONCLUSIONS: There are public health implications for these results. Eating disorders in mothers represent a risk for child development. It may be important to enquire during pregnancy about a history of eating problems and to provide the opportunity for early experiences to be discussed.  (+info)

Linkage analysis of anorexia and bulimia nervosa cohorts using selected behavioral phenotypes as quantitative traits or covariates. (5/225)

To increase the likelihood of finding genetic variation conferring liability to eating disorders, we measured over 100 attributes thought to be related to liability to eating disorders on affected individuals from multiplex families and two cohorts: one recruited through a proband with anorexia nervosa (AN; AN cohort); the other recruited through a proband with bulimia nervosa (BN; BN cohort). By a multilayer decision process based on expert evaluation and statistical analysis, six traits were selected for linkage analysis (1): obsessionality (OBS), age at menarche (MENAR), and anxiety (ANX) for quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage analysis; and lifetime minimum body mass index (BMI), concern over mistakes (CM), and food-related obsessions (OBF) for covariate-based linkage analysis. The BN cohort produced the largest linkage signals: for QTL linkage analysis, four suggestive signals: (for MENAR, at 10p13; for ANX, at 1q31.1, 4q35.2, and 8q13.1); for covariate-based linkage analyses, both significant and suggestive linkages (for BMI, one significant [4q21.1] and three suggestive [3p23, 10p13, 5p15.3]; for CM, two significant [16p13.3, 14q21.1] and three suggestive [4p15.33, 8q11.23, 10p11.21]; and for OBF, one significant [14q21.1] and five suggestive [4p16.1, 10p13.1, 8q11.23, 16p13.3, 18p11.31]). Results from the AN cohort were far less compelling: for QTL linkage analysis, two suggestive signals (for OBS at 6q21 and for ANX at 9p21.3); for covariate-based linkage analysis, five suggestive signals (for BMI at 4q13.1, for CM at 11p11.2 and 17q25.1, and for OBF at 17q25.1 and 15q26.2). Overlap between the two cohorts was minimal for substantial linkage signals.  (+info)

Autoantibodies against neuropeptides are associated with psychological traits in eating disorders. (6/225)

Previously, we identified that a majority of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) as well as some control subjects display autoantibodies (autoAbs) reacting with alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) or adrenocorticotropic hormone, melanocortin peptides involved in appetite control and the stress response. In this work, we studied the relevance of such autoAbs to AN and BN. In addition to previously identified neuropeptide autoAbs, the current study revealed the presence of autoAbs reacting with oxytocin (OT) or vasopressin (VP) in both patients and controls. Analysis of serum levels of identified autoAbs showed an increase of IgM autoAbs against alpha-MSH, OT, and VP as well as of IgG autoAbs against VP in AN patients when compared with BN patients and controls. Further, we investigated whether levels of these autoAbs correlated with psychological traits characteristic for eating disorders. We found significantly altered correlations between alpha-MSH autoAb levels and the total Eating Disorder Inventory-2 score, as well as most of its subscale dimensions in AN and BN patients vs. controls. Remarkably, these correlations were opposite in AN vs. BN patients. In contrast, levels of autoAbs reacting with adrenocorticotropic hormone, OT, or VP had only few altered correlations with the Eating Disorder Inventory-2 subscale dimensions in AN and BN patients. Thus, our data reveal that core psychobehavioral abnormalities characteristic for eating disorders correlate with the levels of autoAbs against alpha-MSH, suggesting that AN and BN may be associated with autoAb-mediated dysfunctions of primarily the melanocortin system.  (+info)

Overeating among seriously overweight children seeking treatment: results of the children's eating disorder examination. (7/225)

OBJECTIVE: We sought to examine rates of eating disorder symptoms among seriously overweight children seeking treatment using the Eating Disorder Examination for Children (ChEDE) and to provide initial data about their association with treatment outcome. METHOD: Overweight children (N = 27) 8-13 years old were interviewed using the ChEDE before participating in a family-based behavioral treatment program. Height and weight were measured pretreatment, posttreatment, and approximately 8 months posttreatment. RESULTS: Fifteen percent of children reported subjective bulimic episodes (SBE). Weight loss did not differ for children with and without SBEs, but concerns about body shape were related to larger weight losses during treatment. CONCLUSION: A considerable minority of treatment-seeking overweight children report an episodic sense of loss of control over eating. Loss of control is related to other disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, but does not appear to affect treatment outcome. Future studies are needed to replicate these initial findings.  (+info)

An empirical comparison of atypical bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. (8/225)

The International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10) defines atypical bulimia nervosa (ABN) as an eating disorder that encompasses several different syndromes, including the DSM-IV binge eating disorder (BED). We investigated whether patients with BED can be differentiated clinically from patients with ABN who do not meet criteria for BED. Fifty-three obese patients were examined using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV and the ICD-10 criteria for eating disorders. All volunteers completed the Binge Eating Scale (BES), the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). Individuals fulfilling criteria for both ABN and BED (N = 18), ABN without BED (N = 16), and obese controls (N = 19) were compared and contrasted. Patients with ABN and BED and patients with ABN without BED displayed similar levels of binge eating severity according to the BES (31.05 +/- 7.7 and 30.05 +/- 5.5, respectively), which were significantly higher than those found in the obese controls (18.32 +/- 8.7; P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). When compared to patients with ABN and BED, patients with ABN without BED showed increased lifetime rates of agoraphobia (P = 0.02) and increased scores in the somatization (1.97 +/- 0.85 vs 1.02 +/- 0.68; P = 0.001), obsessive-compulsive (2.10 +/- 1.03 vs 1.22 +/- 0.88; P = 0.01), anxiety (1.70 +/- 0.82 vs 1.02 +/- 0.72; P = 0.02), anger (1.41 +/- 1.03 vs 0.59 +/- 0.54; P = 0.005) and psychoticism (1.49 +/- 0.93 vs 0.75 +/- 0.55; P = 0.01) dimensions of the SCL-90. The BED construct may represent a subgroup of ABN with less comorbities and associated symptoms.  (+info)

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the relative course and outcome of bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. METHODS: Two community-based cohorts were studied prospectively over a 5-year year period. One comprised 102 participants with bulimia nervosa and the other 48 participants with binge eating disorder (21% [9/42] of whom had comorbid obesity). All participants were female and aged between 16 and 35 years at recruitment. The assessments were at 15-month intervals and addressed eating disorder features, general psychiatric symptoms, and social functioning. RESULTS: Both cohorts showed marked initial improvement followed by gradual improvement thereafter. Between half and two thirds of the bulimia nervosa cohort had some form of eating disorder of clinical severity at each assessment point, although only a minority continued to meet diagnostic criteria for bulimia nervosa. Each year about a third remitted and a third relapsed. The outcome of the binge eating disorder cohort was better, with the

Bulimia NervosaBulimia Nervosa
Initial Treatment Antidepressants are effective as one component of an initial treatment program for most bulimia nervosa patients [I], with SSRI treatment having the most evidence for efficacy and the fewest difficulties with adverse effects [I]. To date, fluoxetine is the best studied of these and is the only FDA-approved medication for bulimia nervosa. Sertraline is the only other SSRI that has been shown to be effective, as demonstrated in a small, randomized controlled trial. In the absence of therapists qualified to treat bulimia nervosa with CBT, fluoxetine is recommended as an initial treatment [I]. Dosages of SSRIs higher than those used for depression (e.g., fluoxetine 60 mg/day) are more effective in treating bulimic symptoms [I]. Evidence from a small open trial suggests fluoxetine may be useful for adolescents with bulimia [II].. Antidepressants may be helpful for patients with substantial concurrent symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessions, or certain impulse disorder symptoms ...

Bulimia nervosa - WikipediaBulimia nervosa - Wikipedia
Media portrayals of an ideal body shape are widely considered to be a contributing factor to bulimia.[21] In a 1991 study by Weltzin, Hsu, Pollicle, and Kaye, it was stated that 19% of bulimics undereat, 37% of bulimics eat an average or normal amount of food, and 44% of bulimics overeat.[39] A survey of 15- to 18-year-old high school girls in Nadroga, Fiji, found the self-reported incidence of purging rose from 0% in 1995 (a few weeks after the introduction of television in the province) to 11.3% in 1998.[40] In addition, the suicide rate among people with bulimia nervosa is 7.5 times higher than in the general population.[41] When attempting to decipher the origin of bulimia nervosa in a cognitive context, Christopher Fairburn et al.s cognitive behavioral model is often considered the golden standard.[42] Fairburn et al.s model discusses the process in which an individual falls into the binge-purge cycle and thus develops bulimia. Fairburn et al. argue that extreme concern with weight and ...

The study is aimed at an attempt to evaluate the intensification of feeling of anger and coping strategies in Polish and French patients with bulimia nervosa. 30 Polish adolescent girls and 14 French adolescent girls suffering from bulimia nervosa were examined. The study methods included the Self-Expression and Control Scale by Van Elderena et al. (1997) and the Brief COPE by Carvera (1997). The results revealed significant differences between the experimental groups in coping strategies. Polish bulimic patients make less use of coping strategies based on positive reinterpretation (p lower than 0,01), humour (p lower than 0,001), and acceptance (p lower than 0,05) and they show a significantly higher alcohol-drug disengagement (p lower than 0,001) than the French patients. In addition, Polish clinical group show a significantly higher anger-out (p lower than 0,001).
The treatment of bulimia nervosa. - Oxford NeuroscienceThe treatment of bulimia nervosa. - Oxford Neuroscience
Bulimia nervosa is a significant source of morbidity amongst young women. There has been a considerable body of work on its treatment since it was first described in 1979. Three treatments have shown particular promise: antidepressant drug treatment, cognitive behaviour therapy and exposure with response prevention. The research findings indicate that the approach of choice is cognitive behaviour therapy, with most patients benefiting significantly and the changes being well maintained. However, cognitive behaviour therapy is neither necessary nor sufficient for all patients with bulimia nervosa: some benefit from simpler interventions whilst others fail to respond. At present, too little is known about the factors that predict response to particular forms of treatment to allow the matching of patients with treatments.

The majority of bulimics are female, adolescent, and from a high socioeconomic group. All westernized industrial countries have reported incidence of bulimia. An estimated 0.1 to 1.5 percent of the U. S. population are reported to have bulimia. Adolescents who develop bulimia are more likely to come from families with a history of eating disorders, physical illness, and other mental health problems, such as mood disorders or substance abuse. Other mental health problems, such as anxiety disorders, or mood disorders, are commonly found in persons with bulimia.. Family, friends, and doctors may have difficulty detecting bulimia in someone they know because they binge and purge in secret. Often, they are able to maintain normal or above normal body weight, but hide their problem from others for years. Many individuals with bulimia do not seek help until they reach the ages of 30 or 50--when their eating behavior is deeply ingrained and more difficult to change.. ...

Reports that eating disorder (ED) rates are rapidly increasing seem nearly ubiquitous, but are rates actually increasing? Are EDs at an "epidemic" level? I came across a recently published study suggesting that this may not be the case; indeed, ED rates might actually be decreasing, at least in the Netherlands.. In the study, Smink and colleagues (2015) followed a group of general practitioners (GPs), servicing roughly 1% of the total population, asking them to record all the newly diagnosed patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) between 1985-1989, 1995-1999, and 2005-2009. They were interested in whether incidence rates changed or remained stable over time..

In a feasibility trial comparing two forms of combined inhibitory control training and goal planning (i.e., food-specific and general) among patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED), we found evidence of symptomatic benefit, with stronger effects among participants receiving a food-specific intervention. The aim of the present study was to examine changes in behavioral outcomes and event-related potentials (ERPs; N2 and P3 amplitudes) from baseline to post-intervention that might suggest the mechanisms underpinning these effects. Fifty-five participants completed go/no-go tasks during two electroencephalography (EEG) sessions, at baseline and post-intervention. The go/no-go task included
Anorexia and bulimia - Medicine ShoppeAnorexia and bulimia - Medicine Shoppe
Bulimia or bulimia nervosa refers to episodes of excessive and impulsive eating of a large amount of food (hyperphagia, or what people may call "overeating" or "binge eating "), followed by various harmful behaviours in response to the loss of food control and a fear of getting fat, e.g., vomiting, taking diuretics or laxatives, or exercising excessively. According to the diagnostic criteria of the DSM-V (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders), these episodes must occur at least once a week for the condition to qualify as bulimia. In general, people with bulimia will maintain a normal weight, which can allow them to hide the problem for years.. Like with anorexia, bulimia also causes great physical and psychological suffering. Vomiting can cause inflammation of the esophagus and swelling of the salivary glands. In rare cases, hyperphagia may cause the stomach to rupture. The abuse of laxatives or diuretics can cause electrolyte disorders and lead to heart or other problems. Like ...

Parents, teachers, coaches, or instructors may be able to identify the child or adolescent with bulimia, although many persons with the disorder initially keep their illness very private and hidden. However, a child psychiatrist or a qualified mental health professional usually diagnoses bulimia in children and adolescents. A detailed history of the adolescents behavior from parents and teachers, clinical observations of the adolescents behavior, and, sometimes, psychological testing contribute to the diagnosis. Parents who note symptoms of bulimia in their child or teen can help by seeking an evaluation and treatment early. Early treatment can often prevent future problems.. Bulimia, and the malnutrition that results, can adversely affect nearly every organ system in the body, increasing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.

Patients with Bulimia Nervosa (BN) have difficulty regulating impulsive behaviors as suggested by their binge-eating and purging, as well as the high incidence of drug abuse and shoplifting in this population. Understanding dysfunction in the frontostriatal circuitry that mediates self-regulatory control processes will aid development of new therapeutics for the impulsivity associated with BN. We are conducting a longitudinal study to better understand the development and persistence of BN.. Participation in this study includes 4 sections: Neuropsychological Tests, Diagnostic interviews, Pregnancy Test, and MRI scan. All efforts are made to coordinate procedures into one day, and they require between 4 and 5 hours of the participants time. The option of splitting participation into two study days is also offered for participants who find it more convenient. Participants are compensated with $100 in the form of a check, which is mailed to their home address. Participants will be invited back for ...
Eating Disorders: Bulimia NervosaEating Disorders: Bulimia Nervosa
Women are more likely than men to develop Bulimia and sufferers tend to start the cycle of Bulimia in late adolescence or early adulthood.. Bulimia begins with eating an unusually large amount of food, often in an impulsive but ritualized manner. During the binge eating, its almost as if another consciousness takes hold and the food is their total focus. Afterward, theyre often consumed with overwhelming feelings of self-loathing and remorse. Binging is often followed by getting rid of any evidence of the binge and then different behaviors to curb any weight gain - like extreme amounts of exercise, harsh food restriction, use of laxatives, or even purging the food from their system by vomiting.. These post-binge behaviors come from a need to reverse the damage they have done to their body and to lower their soaring anxiety. Ironically, these efforts often end up causing more damage to their bodies and increasing their anxiety instead of helping to resolve the problem.. Similar to other eating ...

Kidshealth: A to Z: Bulimia | Akron Childrens HospitalKidshealth: A to Z: Bulimia | Akron Children's Hospital
Generally, eating disorders involve self-critical, negative thoughts and feelings about body weight and food, and eating habits that disrupt normal body function and daily activities. People with bulimia typically respond to those negative thoughts by binge eating (eating abnormally large amounts of food over a short period of time) and then purging the food eaten by vomiting, fasting, exercising excessively, or using laxatives, diuretics, or weight-loss medications in order to keep from gaining weight.. With bulimia, frequent vomiting and lack of nutrition can cause stomach pain, damage to the stomach and kidneys, tooth decay, and loss of periods in girls. Over time, bulimia can contribute to serious complications, such as heart problems, kidney failure, severe malnutrition, and even death. In addition, bulimia is often associated with mental health conditions like anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression.. The causes of bulimia arent entirely clear. However, a ...

A study of 41,000 pregnant women taking part in the Norwegian Mother and Child Study found that 96 suffered from bulimia in the first trimester of their pregnancies, 67 had suffered from bulimia six months before their pregnancy, while 26 had developed bulimia after becoming pregnant. The women with bulimia reported lower self-esteem and less satisfaction with life and their relationship with their partner and also had a higher prevalence of symptoms associated with anxiety and depression. Women with bulimia reported a higher prevalence of life-long physical abuse, sexual abuse and major depression compared to other women ...

Caught in the bulimic trap? Persistence and state dependence of bulimia among young women - Zurich Open Repository and ArchiveCaught in the bulimic trap? Persistence and state dependence of bulimia among young women - Zurich Open Repository and Archive
Eating disorders are an important and growing health concern, and bulimia nervosa (BN) accounts for the largest fraction of eating disorders. Health consequences of BN are substantial and especially serious given the increasingly compulsive nature of the disorder. However, remarkably little is known about the mechanisms underlying the persistent nature of BN. Using a unique panel data set on young women and instrumental variable techniques, we document that unobserved heterogeneity plays a role in the persistence of BN, but strikingly up to two thirds is due to true state dependence. Our results, together with support from the medical literature, provide evidence that bulimia should be considered an addiction. Our findings have important implications for public policy since they suggest that the timing of the policy is crucial: preventive educational programs should be coupled with more intense (rehabilitation) treatment at the early stages of bingeing and purging behaviors. Our results are ...

Bulimia symptoms in Czech youth : prevalence and association with internalizing problemsBulimia symptoms in Czech youth : prevalence and association with internalizing problems
Objective Although clinical studies suggest that bulimia symptoms are common in youth, research on the prevalence of such symptoms and of their association with comorbid internalizing problems in the general population has been limited. This study aimed to evaluate the gender-specific prevalence of bulimia symptoms in Czech youth and explored the association between a clinical level of self-reported bulimia symptoms (CLBS) and internalizing problems by gender, controlling for age, socio-economic status and puberty status. Method The study was conducted on a representative national sample of Czech youth (N = 4430, 57.0% female) using self-report scales. Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was used to examine the associations. Results The 3-month CLBS prevalence was higher in girls (11.4%) than in boys (3.8%) and in both genders a CLBS was associated with higher levels of comorbid internalizing problems. Discussion Timely recognition of bulimia symptoms and associated risk factors is ...

METHOD: Twenty-six female patients with eating disorders (10 with bulimia nervosa, 16 with anorexia nervosa) and 19 healthy female comparison subjects matched for age and education were presented with food and aversive emotional images while brain activity was recorded with functional magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS: Women with eating disorders identified the food stimuli as threatening and disgusting. In response to these stimuli, the women with eating disorders had greater activation in the left medial orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate cortices and less activation in the lateral prefrontal cortex, inferior parietal lobule, and cerebellum, relative to the comparison group. In addition, women with bulimia nervosa had less activation in the lateral and apical prefrontal ...

Bulimia Nervosa. Someone living with bulimia will feel out of control when binging on very large amounts of food during short periods of time, and then desperately try to rid himself of the extra calories using forced vomiting, abusing laxatives or excessive exercise. This becomes a repeating cycle that controls many aspects of the persons life and has a very negative effect both emotionally and physically. People living with bulimia are usually normal weight or even a bit overweight.. The emotional symptoms of bulimia include low self-esteem overly linked to body image, feelings of being out of control, feeling guilty or shameful about eating and withdrawal from friends and family.. Like anorexia, bulimia will inflict physical damage. The binging and purging can severely harm the parts of the body involved in eating and digesting food, teeth are damaged by frequent vomiting, and acid reflux is common. Excessive purging can cause dehydration that effect the bodys electrolytes and leads to ...
Prozac For Bipolar Disorder, Bulimia, And Anxiety - HealthDartsProzac For Bipolar Disorder, Bulimia, And Anxiety - HealthDarts
Prozac is an effective treatment for bipolar disorder, bulimia, and anxiety because it controls and balances the serotonin levels in the brain. In bipolar patients, it is often prescribed in conjunction with other medications. Prozac is an effective treatment for depression, but may cause manic episodes to worsen. For this reason, Prozac is generally prescribed along with an anti-psychotic drug that helps tone down manic episodes. Therapy sessions or counseling is also generally a part of treatment.. In bulimia patients, Prozac is often the only prescription given. However, it is combined with treatment of symptoms via counseling and therapy. The idea behind this counseling is to identify why the patient has developed a sense of self-worth, and to allow the patient to learn that what they perceive is not necessarily reality. This is very helpful in bulimia patients who binge and purge as a result of how they perceive their bodies ...

I wanted to have any other size feet but mine. All of the girls in my class seemed to have tiny, petite feet that made them gracious and therefore, more worthy of love. To me, having big feet meant that I wasnt pretty, and it was one more thing on my ever-growing list that made me determined to change myself.. I started despising myself at a very young age, around the age of eight. And a lot of that had to do with trauma in my own family.

How To Treat BulimiaHow To Treat Bulimia
Bulimia is mainly a psychiatric problem and involves behavioral therapy along with counseling. Therapy is most effective when it concentrates on the issues that cause the behavior, rather than on the behavior itself. The patient is advised to participate in group therapy, where persons suffering from Bulimia meet and talk about their experiences.. The patient may also need Anti-depressants since he usually suffers from depression. Since fluid and electrolyte imbalances are observed, it is prudent to relinquish the reserves with i.v.fluids and electrolytes. The mainstay of the treatment part is Follow-Up.

Binge-Eating Disorder - Behavioral NutritionBinge-Eating Disorder - Behavioral Nutrition
Although there is still more research needed on the causes of binge-eating disorder. Binge-eating disorder often starts with a diet, which may be meant to help the person regain self-esteem and control. We believe that a combination of social influences learned eating habits, childhood experiences and food addictions are major culprits to the cause of binge-eating disorder. Those who struggle with binge-eating and compulsive over-eating have been shown to report mental health illnesses such as depression and anxiety.. Recent research has found that binge-eating is by far the most common eating disorder, with rates showing that 1 in 35 adults suffer from Binge-eating Disorder (2.8%). This rate is almost twice the combined rate for Anorexia (0.6%) and bulimia (1%). The National Eating Disorder Association has reported that approximately 25 million more are struggling with binge eating disorder. As with many other eating disorders, binge-eating often involves secretiveness and shame associated with ...

Eating disorders are conditions that cause a person to have unhealthy thoughts and behaviors related to food and body image. Some people with eating disorders severely restrict their food intake (anorexia nervosa), while others eat excessively (binge eating disorder or compulsive overeating). They may also vomit, take laxatives, or exercise excessively to try to prevent weight gain (bulimia nervosa).. The cause of eating disorders is not clear, but experts believe that it is related to a number of physical, psychological, cultural, and social factors. Eating disorders are most common in teenage girls and young women, but they can occur at any age and in both sexes.. People who have eating disorders may develop health problems, such as dehydration and malnutrition. Eating disorders also increase a persons risk of other health problems related to a poor diet.

Treating Eating Disorders in Primary Care - American Family PhysicianTreating Eating Disorders in Primary Care - American Family Physician
Binge-eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa are potentially life-threatening disorders that involve complex psychosocial issues. A strong therapeutic relationship between the physician and patient is necessary for assessing the psychosocial and medical factors used to determine the appropriate level of care. Most patients can be effectively treated in the outpatient setting by a health care team that includes a physician, a registered dietitian, and a therapist. Psychiatric consultation may be beneficial. Patients may require inpatient care if they are suicidal or have life-threatening medical complications, such as marked bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia, severe electrolyte disturbances, end-organ compromise, or weight below 85 percent of their healthy body weight. For the treatment of binge-eating disorder and bulimia nervosa, good evidence supports the use of interpersonal and cognitive behavior therapies, as well as antidepressants.

Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED) was previously known as Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) in past editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. Despite being considered a catch-all classification that was sometimes denied insurance coverage for treatment as it was seen as less serious, OSFED/EDNOS is a serious, life-threatening, and treatable eating disorder. The category was developed to encompass those individuals who did not meet strict diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa but still had a significant eating disorder. In community clinics, the majority of individuals were historically diagnosed with EDNOS.. Research into the severity of EDNOS/OSFED shows that the disorder is just as severe as other eating disorders based on the following:. ...

Current theories postulate that CHSP is a symptom exhibited by individuals with recurrent binge eating and Bulimia Nervosa. The review aimed to identify and critically assess studies that have examined the distribution of CHSP behaviour, its relationship to eating disorders, its physical and psychosocial consequences and treatment. A systematic database search with broad inclusion criteria, dated to January 2016 was conducted. Data were extracted by two authors and papers appraised for quality using a modified Downs and Black Quality Index. Nine studies met the inclusion criteria. All were of clinical samples and majority (n = 7) were of low quality. The pathological action of chewing food but not swallowing was reported more often in those with restrictive type eating disorders, such as Anorexia Nervosa, than binge eating type disorders.

Eating Disorder research has highlighted the role of neuropsychological functioning, informing the treatment of Anorexia Nervosa. There is ambiguity in the data relating to cognitive impairment in Bulimia Nervosa, with the latest review providing inconclusive results. Executive function impairments in the area of set shifting and inhibition reported in BN are proposed to relate to traits of compulsivity and impulsivity. Other psychological disorders have also demonstrated executive function impairments. Among anxiety disorders, only PTSD and OCD have strong evidence of executive function deficits while a number of studies point towards executive function deficits in depression. This thesis aims to investigate the specificity of cognitive impairments seen in a group of female outpatients with bulimia nervosa, using a clinical comparison group of anxious and/or depressed female outpatients.

Instability of eating disorder diagnoses: prospective study. - Oxford NeuroscienceInstability of eating disorder diagnoses: prospective study. - Oxford Neuroscience
BACKGROUND: The stability of eating disorder diagnoses has received little research attention. AIMS: To examine the course of the full range of clinical eating disorders. METHOD: A sample of 192 women with a current DSM-IV eating disorder (55 with anorexia nervosa,108 with bulimia nervosa and 29 with eating disorder not otherwise specified) were assessed three times over 30 months using a standardised interview. RESULTS: Although the overarching category of eating disorder was relatively stable, the stability of the three specific eating disorder diagnoses was low, with just a third of participants retaining their original diagnosis. This was due only in part to remission since the remission rate was low across all three diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS: There is considerable diagnostic flux within the eating disorders but a low overall remission rate. This suggests that underpinning their psychopathology may be common biological and psychological causal and maintaining processes.

Eating Disorders in PeopleEating Disorders in People
Introduction-. Fondness for food is something that almost all of us can relate to. This fondness often appears in the way we look and lead lives. It is an undisputed fact that "what we eat is what we become". If we eat healthy foodstuffs, we remain healthy and if we eat junk, we become vulnerable to diseases. There are people who literally love eating so much so that they have to literally vomit forcefully to take that out. Their hunger isnt suppressed by eating a regular portion of food. I personally feel that "hunger is from mind" which implies that they do not eat much, it is just that their mind prompts hem to eat more than they can. This results in ill effects like diseases, disorders, etc.. Eating disorder is the term coined to refer to refer to the irregular eating habits. Eat disorders may involve excessive or inadequate eating that disturbs an individuals wellbeing. Most common eating disorders observed in people are Binge Eating disorder, Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, etc. that ...

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.. 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.. The main types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. A third type, binge-eating disorder, has been suggested but has not yet been approved as a formal psychiatric diagnosis. Eating disorders frequently develop during adolescence or early adulthood, but some reports indicate their onset can occur during childhood or later in adulthood.. Eating disorders frequently co-occur with other psychiatric disorders such as depression, ...

Sheenas Place - Hospital NewsSheena's Place - Hospital News
When Sheena Carpenter died from her eating disorder in 1993, her mother Lynn, other family members and friends were shocked and outraged that there had been so little help available. Eight years later, in 2001 a parent who participated in the group for mothers offered by Sheenas Place described her familys experience in this way: "When my child first became ill with an eating disorder I felt isolated and overwhelmed. I found that treatment options to help her were minimal. Understanding of the illness was limited. The stigma surrounding eating disorders was great. Nobody talked about it. Loved ones were often cut out of the treatment team and often thought of as the negative, primary cause of the sufferers illness. The government had little understanding of the seriousness of eating disorders and resources were and remain limited. As loved ones of sufferers we had no voice and few resources.". Eating disorders - anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder - are psychological ...
Bulumia Nervosa | Healthy Diet and NutritionBulumia Nervosa | Healthy Diet and Nutrition
Bulimia Nervosa and Anorexia Nervosa are two most known types of eating disorders, which occur rather frequently and prevail in females (over 80% of occurrence). Anorexia can be diagnosed in the situations, when patients have strong tendencies to self-starvation and refuse to eat in normal amounts. Bulimia is a disease, when an individual lives repeated incidents of purging the food out of the body by causing vomiting or opening the bowels, followed by random attacks of binge-eating and starvation.. Specialists suppose that the causes of both disorders can involve a combination of the following factors. Those are: (1) biological factors, which include genetic predisposition to developing these disorders; (2) psychological factors, which include low self-esteem, problems with self-control, depressiveness, obsessive compulsive or other personality disorders, etc.; (3) socio-cultural factors, which include the tendency to promote thinness in our media, overload of the media with images of thin ...

Abstract Medical researchers and clinicians increasingly understand and present eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia nervosa) as biologically-based psychiatric disorders, with genetic risk factors established by high heritability estimates in twin studies. But there has been no research on interpretation of genetic involvement by people with eating disorders, who may hold other views. Their interpretations are particularly important given the frequent presumption that biogenetic framing will reduce stigma, and recent findings that it exacerbates stigma for other mental illnesses. To identify implications of genetic framing in eating disorders, I conducted semi-structured interviews with 50 US women with a history of eating disorders (half recovered, half in treatment; interviewed 2008-9 in the USA). Interviews introduced the topic of genetics, but not stigma per se. Analysis followed the general principles of grounded theory to identify perceived implications of genetic
EDNOS: The Eating Disorder You Havent Heard Of - Adios BarbieEDNOS: The Eating Disorder You Haven't Heard Of - Adios Barbie
Editors note: Under the recently released DSM-V (2013) EDNOS is now categorized as OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder). See the National Eating Disorders Association for additional information. By Michelle Cantrell of VenusVision.com. When I received the diagnosis of Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (EDNOS) two years ago, I had mixed reactions. On the one hand, the label didnt seem to fit. Me? With an eating disorder? I wasnt underweight, and in fact was technically on the edge of being "overweight." I had intentionally thrown up from time to time, but certainly was not bulimic. I had tried starving myself periodically in an attempt to get my weight under control, but I definitely wasnt anorexic. At the most I considered myself a chronic dieter, or someone who at times could be a little obsessed with healthy eating and exercise. I could agree that my eating was very disordered but to identify myself as someone with an eating disorder made me squirm in my seat a bit. ...

Research shows that if someone doesnt get effective treatment within the first three years, medical outcomes in anorexia are very poor.. Eating disorders in young people are on the up. A British Medical Journal report says the -frequency of eating disorders rose from 32 per 1,000 to 37 in the 10 years from 2000 in people in the age group 10-49. Eating disorders are now fairly common among adolescent girls.. A recent Dutch study found theyre six times more common than in men. Despite this prevalence, anorexia , bulimia and binge-eating disorder are often dangerously misunderstood. Even people with classic symptoms often dont get any kind of treatment - thats around 56% in the Netherlands and 28% in the US.. Better results can only be achieved if treatment starts early and that means as soon as possible after diagnosis. Guidelines recommend that all under-18s start treatment within four weeks and if the person doesnt get effective treatment within the first three years, medical outcomes in ...
Eating Disorders & Oral Health - Framingham, MA DentistEating Disorders & Oral Health - Framingham, MA Dentist
Millions of people in the United States, particularly teenage girls and young women, suffer from health-threatening eating disorders, and dentists are often the first to spot the signs. Why? The repeated, self-induced vomiting that characterizes bulimia nervosa has a pronounced effect on teeth. Anorexia nervosa (self-starvation) can also have some noticeable effects on oral health.. More than 90% of those with bulimia experience tooth erosion. This is caused by acid from the stomach, which can dissolve the enamel when it comes in contact with teeth during vomiting. Teeth that have lost enamel can appear worn, chip easily, and become sensitive to hot and/or cold. Of course, acid erosion can also affect people who drink a lot of soda, sports drinks and energy drinks - even the diet varieties. But acid erosion in bulimics has a particular pattern: It is evident on the upper front teeth, particularly on the tongue side and biting edges. The bottom teeth, on the other hand, tend to be protected by ...

Eating disorders and other eating problems can be a very sensitive topic for people. Not only because it makes us feel ashamed, but because of the ideas we have in our heads about what healthy people look like. There are many factors that contribute to a person developing a problem with their relationship to food. Today, we would like to highlight the main problems and what signs to look for.. Anorexia Nervosa - We have all heard of this one and many of us probably know someone who suffers from anorexia.

The person feels out of control during the binge-eating. A self-esteem that is very much dependent on body image can be a sign that ...
Understanding and Finding Help for Eating DisordersUnderstanding and Finding Help for Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are more about issues of control and self-worth than about food. The ability to control food intake and the body itself become tightly connected to feelings of self-worth. Eating disorders usually mask other problems. They may start as a way of coping with personal issues, but in time they create more problems than they solve. Its common for persons with eating disorders to have other mental health problems such as depression, anxiety or substance abuse issues. People with eating disorders seldom see that they have a problem, which is a barrier to getting the help they need. At the same time, persons with eating disorders can experience shame and guilt and may try to hide their food-related activities. This can make it difficult for friends or loved ones to know theres a problem.. So if you, or someone you know, are experiencing trouble with food and eating, its important to pay attention to the warning signs and get help early. Eating disorders are dangerous and do not go ...

Most people can find something they dont like about their body, and many take steps to eat more healthfully or start an exercise plan to improve their appearance.. Those with eating disorders develop habits that can cause a great deal of harm. They may fast or severely restrict their calories, exercise for hours on end each day, or take other actions to prevent any weight gain. Even though they are often underweight, they have an intense fear of becoming fat.. Usually appearing during adolescence or young adulthood, eating disorders can also develop during childhood or later in adulthood.. They are much more common among women and girls, but men and boys account for about 5 to 15 percent of those with anorexia or bulimia and about 35 percent of those with binge eating disorder.. Eating disorders commonly co-occur with anxiety disorders. For those who have an anxiety disorder, a co-occurring eating disorder may make their symptoms worse and recovery more difficult. Its essential to be treated ...

A Story to Tell, or: Regarding Male Eating Disorders aspires to break the taboo surrounding eating disorders and break away from the stereotype that only girls and women are affected by the mental health condition. Over the course of one year, photographer Mafalda Rakoš followed eleven men affected by anorexia, bulimia or binge eating. Having overcome an eating disorder herself, Rakoš created this project hoping to provide insight into how it feels to experience an eating disorder as a boy or man. Whenever eating disorders have been addressed in public debate and media, the conversation has predominantly focussed on the experiences of girls and women. Globally, 2.2% of men struggle with an eating disorder at least once in their lifetime. The lack of visibility and shame experienced by this demographic causes experts to fear that the number of unreported cases is notably higher. By sharing their personal stories, and their journeys to recovery and self-acceptance, the eleven men portrayed want to

Patients with bulimia nervosa3
  • In a feasibility trial comparing two forms of combined inhibitory control training and goal planning (i.e., food-specific and general) among patients with bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED), we found evidence of symptomatic benefit, with stronger effects among participants receiving a food-specific intervention. (frontiersin.org)
  • However, cognitive behaviour therapy is neither necessary nor sufficient for all patients with bulimia nervosa: some benefit from simpler interventions whilst others fail to respond. (ox.ac.uk)
  • The study is aimed at an attempt to evaluate the intensification of feeling of anger and coping strategies in Polish and French patients with bulimia nervosa. (infona.pl)
