Treating an Eating Disorder 2 - In the first part of the article, we concluded that there are two major elements that drive any eating disorder, namely a psychological and an emotional one. Since we covered the psychological causes and treatments in the first part, it's time to see how our emotions come into play when an eating disorder occurs.
Treating an Eating Disorder 1 - Eating disorders are definitely not easy to treat, mainly because what causes them is a complex mixture of emotional, psychological and natural elements that need to be taken separately and cured. Some eating disorders such as compulsive overeating may be treated with more ease than others (bulimia or anorexia for example).
The Dangers of Laxatives in Eating Disorders - When people think of bulimics, the thought of purging through vomiting is most often present. However, there are many with the eating disorder that purge through a different way - the use of laxatives.
The Damage that Anorexia Can Cause - We all know at least a little bit about the eating disorder that is known as anorexia nervosa. It is a disorder which can completely overtake the normal thought process of an effected individual, making them feel worthless and miserable.
The Pica Eating Disorder - The Pica eating disorder may not be equally common as bulimia, anorexia or compulsive/binge eating, but it will definitely be included in a list of the most important such disorders. The following article will try to explain what the Pica eating disorder is, what its main causes and effects are and how it is usually treated.
The Binge Eating Disorder - Although the term of "binge eating" is usually referred to when talking about other eating disorders such as bulimia, it actually stands as an eating disorder of its own. Despite this fact, it is usually considered a milder form of bulimia, or a springboard towards this more complex eating disorder.
Talking to Someone with Bulimia - Eating disorders can be extremely damaging to a person, both mentally and physically. Those with eating disorders such as bulimia often face problems with low self esteem and a poor self image, and it can be tough to talk to them about their problem without making them feel even worse about themselves.
Statistics of Eating Disorders - Eating disorders are serious conditions characterized by an unhealthy preoccupation with food and body image. The most common types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating.
Self Help and Eating Disorders - Eating disorders are complex and serious conditions that should be treated as soon as possible by a health professional. However, if the patient resists treatment, there are a few self-help measures that may be taken at home while professional help is sought.
Risk Factors for Bulimia - Bulimia is one of the most threatening and most present eating disorders within our society today. Those with the disorder face numerous problems due to the damage it can do to their mind and their body.
