What is Anorexia Nervosa?• Anorexia means "without appetite” Nervosa is the Nervous

System.• Anorexia is one of the three most common types of teen

eating disorders.• Anorexics consistently deprive their bodies of needed

nutrition in the form of calories, vitamins, electrolytes, and other nutrients for long periods of time.

• It is a mental disorder. One simply cannot just ‘stop.’ • People with anorexia see themselves as overweight, even

when they are starved or are clearly malnourished.• People with anorexia lose weight by dieting and exercising

excessively; others lose weight by self-induced vomiting, or misusing laxatives, diuretics or enemas.

Extra Anorexia Info• A person with anorexia typically weighs herself or

himself repeatedly, portions food carefully, and eats only very small quantities of only certain foods.

• When a person with anorexia looks into a mirror he/she does not often see an accurate reflection. A person with anorexia sees him/herself as fat, even if he/she is dangerously thin. This is a very frightening experience and feels very real – driving the person to diet.

Types of Anorexia Nervosa• Restricting Type-• Anorexics severely restrict their calories sometimes

taking in only a few hundred calories a day or just water. • The individual with anorexia has an appetite; they just

try to control it.• Binge/Purging Type-• Individuals that lose control, they eat, or eat something

they feel they should not have eaten, they vomit or over exercise.

What is Bulimia Nervosa?• People with Bulimia binge on food and then vomit

(purge) in a cycle of binging and purging.• Binge eating refers to quickly eating large amounts

of food over short periods of time.• Purging involves forced vomiting or the misuse of

laxatives, diet pills, or other medications.• It might also involve excessive exercise, dieting, or

fasting in an attempt to lose weight that might be gained from eating food or binging.

• The bulimia sufferer might induce vomiting by putting their finger down their throat or by consuming a substance that causes vomiting.

Bulimia Treatment• People with eating disorders are treated by

doctors and psychologists without being admitted to the hospital unless a serious physical complication requires it.

• Early treatment is important, because over time this behavior pattern becomes more deeply ingrained and harder to change.

• Bulimia Treatments are usually therapy and support groups.

Page 23: Common Eating Disorders Presentation

What is Binge Eating?• Binge eating is compulsive overeating in which

people consume huge amounts of food while feeling out of control and powerless to stop.

• A Binge Eating episode typically lasts around two hours, but some people binge on and off all day long.

• Binge eaters often eat even when they’re not hungry and continue eating long after they’re full.

• They may also gorge themselves as fast as they can while barely registering what they’re eating or tasting.

Eating Disorder Prevention• Learning to accept a broad range of body sizes.• Adolescent girls are at a high risk for developing eating

problems, schools should provide prevention programs.• Become educated about the causes and perpetuating

factors of eating disorders, especially those who are in contact with high-risk groups.

• Teachers should also educate students about accepting a wide range of weights and the dangers of dieting.

• Students can be engaged in discussions about social pressures on women to be thin, pressure to achieve, as well as prejudice against fat.
