Hi everybody. Today, I submitted my AFEA report about Anorexia Nervosa to my teacher. I have worked on this assignment for about 3 months. And eventually I completed it last night. Now I want to share my knowledge about Anorexia Nervosa here.
Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder described by extremely low body weight, distorted body image and an obsessive fear of gaining weight. There are several diagnostic criteria which help for diagnoses Anorexia Nervosa such as requiring below 85% of healthy weigth, menstrual irregularities, intense fear of gaining weight. I understood from my investigations that adolescents are highly risk group for Anorexia Nervosa and generally Anorexia Nervosa is seen in women more than men.
There are many causes for this illness. The Barbie syndrome, childhood sexual abuse, perfectionism are some of the psychological reasons of Anorexia Nervosa. On the other hand, social reasons also play a big role in causing Anorexia Nervosa. For example, the approach among friends to certain body types may leads to Anorexia Nervosa or teenagers who perceive family communication, parental caring, and parental expectations as low are at increased risk for developing this disease. Moreover, while I was working on this report I noticed that media plays a major role in Anorexia Nervosa by increased numbers of diet articles and encouraging extreme thinness with models.
Although there are treatments of Anorexia Nervosa, if people with this disease do not use treatments methods, Anorexia Nervosa may leads to deaths. But according to the result of the searches individual therapy, group therapy and family therapy may all be beneficial in recovering from Anorexia Nervosa.
I tried to explain to you Anorexia Nervosa briefly. I hope it was interesting for you. Have a nice day with delicious food =)
