Historical Roots of Anorexia:

Historical Roots of Anorexia 3 Anorexia – History Anorexic habits began awaaay back in history with reports of this behaviour around the early – mid Middle Ages Fasting, as it was called, was typical of nuns and women associated with religious orders. Women had no political rights during the MA and Renaissance and fasting was a means of protest. AN wasn’t labelled as such until the 16 th – 17 th centuries. Watch hunger point part 1

Bulimia History:

Bulimia History 6 We have ancient history to thank for the origins of this illness. Ancient Romans practiced bulimia except it was socially acceptable . When upper class Romans attended large banquets provided by affluent families they ate beyond fullness. However they wanted to eat more of the sumptuous food so they entered a `` purging chamber `` and used a stick or their finger to vomit. With their stomachs emptied they returned to the feast. Gross.

Bulimia Nervosa (that means nervous):

Bulimia Nervosa (that means nervous) Nervosa was added to anorexia and bulimia erroneously awaaay back in history when a doctor described a princess (seriously) as having a nervous condition noted by a lack of eating…..it’s not nerves…..good guess though. BN is eating massive amounts of food then purging. 7 Watch How to recognize signs and symptoms of bulimia

Slide 10:

10 Purging Disorder No binging – just purging Purging isn’t just vomiting – it’s excessive exercise; using laxatives and enemas Obsessed with thinness A form of Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified PDs are at normal or near-normal weight (you know how some days you “feel fat”…well PDs do something about it Watch thin part 1

Compulsive Overeating:

Compulsive Overeating 11 Also called food addiction…an obsessive compulsiveness about food. Compulsive overeaters eat when they are not hungry (and??). They spend excessive amounts of time thinking about food. Some COs grazefood . In their case it results in eating a large amount of calories even if the quantities eaten are small ….rip off! Watch A missing piece to overeating: why diets fail

Rumination Syndrome:

Rumination Syndrome 12 This one has something in common with a weird way of eating called Mastication (stop that, you). It’s rather disgusting. Ruminating is regurgitation of food after eating, but its not vomiting. After its regurgitated some people re-swallow it . Yech . Side effects are tummy aches, constipation, bloating and bad teeth. Imagine a dinner date with a ruminator? Me neither.

Diabulimia:

Diabulimia 13 This one is truly scary. A person with Type I diabetes deliberately gives themselves less insulin. How crazy is that? Not putting insulin in the bod makes the person go into starvation mode, causing breakdown of muscle and fat. And the body can’t process sugars so the sugars are voided in urine rather than being used by the body as stored fat. I mean seriously how badly does a person want to be thin???

Food Maintenance:

Food Maintenance 14 This one is sad . Foster kids learn this one…aberrant eating behaviours from the stress and maltreatment of foster care. K ids eat excessive amounts of food and display food acquisition (they hide their food) without having obesity. It often occurs with Hyperphagic Short Stature syndrome (HSS ), brought on by high stress. Cruel foster parents should be jailed for life . When foster kids are removed from foster “care” they improve over time. Foster kids need more than food and roof

Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified:

Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified 15 EDNOS is describe as " disorders of eating that do not meet the criteria for any specific eating disorder ". It describes eating habits that show some but not all of the symptoms of anorexia and bulimia nervosa. For example an almost bulimic person may binge and purge but not often enough to warrant a diagnosis of bulimia. Some people fit all the symptoms for both anorexia and bulimia . Ouch. Watch eating disorders not otherwise specified

Orthorexia Nervosa:

Orthorexia Nervosa ON is a fixation with healthy or righteous eating and has been referred to as a mental disorder. This fixation can become so extreme that it can lead to severe malnutrition or even death. ON is linked with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder…oh, you think? 16 Watch orthorexia nervosa

lycorexia:

17 Lycorexia is one of the Eating Disorders Not Otherwise Specified . Lycorexics eat large amounts of food but do not vomit or take laxatives. They over-exercise or they fast. They repeat the cycle over and over. lycorexia Watch 1000 ways to die eaten alive

Night E ating S yndrome 21 NES is described as no appetite for breakfast, eating more than 50% of calories after an evening meal, waking up at least once a night to consume high calorie snacks. Foods eaten during the night time binge are often high caloric in content and unhealthy. Night-eating syndrome is different from binge eating and bulimia because relatively small snacks are eaten at night but far more often than BEs or bulimics. Watch night eating syndrome stop over eating at night

Mental Disorders ….. Not?:

Mental Disorders ….. Not? 22 Several of the mentioned disorders, such as diabulimia , food maintenance syndrome and orthorexia nervosa, are not considered to be mental disorders in any of the medical manuals, such as the ICD-10 or the DSM-IV-TR .

Causes :

Causes 23 One theory states "Genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger." This means some people are born with a predisposition for EDs, and these can be triggered by the environment. Some theorists make a big deal out of Mendelian inheritance , meaning people inherit ED genetics from their folks…..one more thing to blame on Mom and Dad. Watch eating disorders: it starts in the genes

Child Abuse:

Child Abuse Sexual abuse often leads to anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating. Anorexics self-starve so they can “disappear”; bulimics and BEs become obese so males won’t find them attractive. 28 Watch eating disorders and abuse

Unstable Family:

Unstable Family 29 Families where parents keep separating then re-uniting, or families who fight constantly lead to youth who develop eating disorders. Others react with EDs out of guilt, believing they caused the family’s problems. And you thought you had problems? Watch parents can unwittingly foster eating disorders in their children

Parental Influence:

Parental Influence 30 Also known as learned behaviour….when Mommy has an eating disorder her daughters often imitate her behaviour. Some parents encourage daughters to develop EDs by telling their daughters they are overweight and unattractive. Nice. Watch father shackles girl for over eating Watch mother and daughter body images

Social Isolation:

31 SI has an enormous impact on children and youth. Often it leads to bullying and in extreme cases, suicide. Culture, belief systems, a lack of social skills can all lead to SI. SI is so harmful to human development that many incarcerated prisoners experienced SI during childhood. Watch causes of anorexia nervosa Social Isolation

Mental Illness:

Mental Illness 32 Eating Disorders are especially difficult to treat when they manifest as a symptom of mental illness. Sometimes the mentally ill person views themselves in a distorted manner; sometimes it is a known symptom of an illness such as schizophrenia.

Personality Disorders:

Personality Disorders 33 Co-morbidity with personality disorders results in a significant percentage of eating disorders. For instance, paranoid personalities may express EDs since they don’t believe reassurances that their weight is normal. “ They’re just saying that to be nice ” or “ They’re trying to fool me ” is the kind of thinking a PP exhibits.

Personality Traits:

Personality Traits Personality traits differ from disorders in that the traits people express generally don’t interfere with daily functioning . For instance an extremely paranoid person may not leave the house for weeks. Personality traits express how a single individual reacts to stress: one child in foster care may develop food maintenance disorder while another may not. 34

The Media:

35 The Media You know when criminals say that porn or movies made them kill someone or do something else nasty….well that`s mostly nonsense. There may be truth to it if a child is regularly exposed to horrible media. The media has a HUGE impact on females and body image. Don`t trick yourself into saying ` well now I know all these causes and it`s genetics and biochemistry `. Those things are the loaded gun but don`t forget the environment is the trigger. The Mirror in My Mind: Body Image & Self-Esteem

Body Changes:

Body Changes 36 All girls go through significant body changes as they grow. At times they may look a little `pudgy``, but they usually outgrow this stage. Isabelle Caro’s (famous anorexia model) mother measured her height and weight fanatically Her mother wouldn’t let Caro her go outside to get fresh air in case it made her grow.. Caro died in 2010 from complications due to anorexia…her mother committed suicide. Parents must love and accept their daughters as they are and be alert for EDs.

Treatment:

However there are treatments that include : Medications Support group therapy Interpersonal Psyhotherapy Family counselling In-patient care Out-patient care Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Behavioural Therapy Music Therapy Art Therapy Recreation Therapy Treatment

Eating Disorders Around the Globe – part I:

Eating Disorders Around the Globe – part I 39 In parts of Africa ( Maritania for instance) and India obese women are very desirable. It is much easier for an obese African or Indian woman to get married than a slim woman since obesity is a sign of wealth. Starting around age 7, girls are force fed on fat farms but not many families practice this tradition anymore. W omen who gorge themselves eat cattle feed because it is cheap and easy to obtain. On the farm girls are forced to eat constantly, as they scream and cry in protest. Where I’m from this is known as child abuse .
