Chapter 10: Eating Disorders
❖OVERVIEW
➢Eating disorders severe disturbances in eating behavior
➢Anorexia nervosa extreme emaciation, or more technically, the refusal to maintain a minimally normal body weight
▪“loss of appetite”
➢Bulimia nervosa characterized by repeated episodes of binge eating, followed by inappropriate compensatory behaviors such as self-induced vomiting, misuse of laxatives, or excessive exercise
▪People typically have a normal appetite
Problem: trying to maintain a weight below the body’s natural set point results in ongoing struggle with binge eating and attempts to compensate
➢Both anorexia and bulimia are 10x more likely in women than in men
❖Symptoms of Anorexia
➢REFUSAL TO MAINTAIN A NORMAL WEIGHT
▪Most obvious and most dangerous symptoms of anorexia
▪Most often the disorder begins with a diet to lose a few pounds, but eventually losing weight becomes the key focus
▪Suggested 85% of expected body weight as a rough guideline for “thin”
▪5% of people with anorexia die of starvation, suicide, or medical complications stemming from their extreme weight loss
➢DISTURBANCE IN EVALUATING WEIGHT OR SHAPE
▪Many individuals deny problems with their weight or suffer from a disturbance in the way body weight or shape is experienced.
▪Distorted body image an inaccurate perception of body size and shape
Women overestimate the size of various body parts in comparison to a normal control group
▪Not all people with anorexia suffer from distorted body image, and many people without the disorder inaccurately estimate the size of their body
They are simply unduly influenced by their body weight or shape in self- evaluation
