Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Eating Disorders”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about eating disorders, a type of mental health condition characterized by abnormal eating behaviors and a distorted perception of body weight or shape. There are several types of eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other specified feeding or eating disorders.

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder in which individuals severely restrict their food intake, often to the point of starvation, and have an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat. This can lead to significant weight loss, malnutrition, and a range of physical and mental health complications.

Bulimia nervosa is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as purging (e.g., self-induced vomiting, laxative use) or excessive exercise. Individuals with bulimia nervosa often have a normal body weight, but may experience significant physical and psychological health problems.

Binge eating disorder involves recurrent episodes of eating large amounts of food in a short period of time, accompanied by feelings of loss of control and distress. Unlike bulimia nervosa, individuals with binge eating disorder do not engage in compensatory behaviors.

Other specified feeding or eating disorders include a range of eating disorder symptoms that do not meet the diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder, but still cause significant distress or impairment.

Eating disorders can have serious physical and psychological consequences, including malnutrition, electrolyte imbalances, gastrointestinal problems, depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Treatment for eating disorders often involves a combination of psychotherapy, medication, and nutritional counseling, and may require a multidisciplinary team approach.

Eating Disorders
Slide 2-

Statistics Over one-half of teenage girls and one-third of teenaged boys use unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, smoking, fasting, vomiting, or taking laxatives
Slide 3-

Statistics 42% of 1st-3rd grade girls want to be thinner 81% of 10 year olds are afraid of being fat
Slide 4-

Statistics The average woman is 5’4’’ and weighs 140 pounds. The average supermodel is 5’11’’ and weighs 117 pounds. Americans spend over $40 billion on dieting and diet related products each year
Slide 5-

Anorexia Nervosa Description Characterized by excessive weight loss Self-starvation Preoccupation with foods, progressing restrictions against whole categories of food Anxiety about gaining weight or being “fat” Denial of hunger Consistent excuses to avoid mealtimes Excessive, rigid exercise regimen to “burn off” calories Withdrawal from usual friends
Slide 6-

Anorexia Symptoms Resistance to maintaining body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height Intense fear of weight gain or being “fat” even though underweight Disturbance in the experience of body weight or shape on self-evaluation Loss of menstrual periods in girls and women post-puberty
Slide 7-

Anorexia What do counselors look for? Rapid loss of weight Change in eating habits Withdrawal from friends or social gatherings Peach fuzz Hair loss or dry skin Extreme concern about appearance or dieting
Slide 8-

Anorexia Age Range Most cases are in women ranging in age from early teens to mid-twenties Recently there have been more cases of women and men in 30’s and 40’s suffering from an eating disorder 40% of newly identified cases are in girls 15-19 Significant increase in women aged 15-24
Slide 9-

Anorexia Prevalence in Population 0.5%-1% of women from late adolescence to early adulthood meet the full criteria for anorexia Even more are diagnosed under a subthreshold Limited data on number of males with anorexia 10 million people have been diagnosed with having an eating disorder of some type
Slide 10-

Bulimia Nervosa
Slide 11-

Description Recurrent episodes of binge eating. An episode of binge eating is characterized by both of the following: -eating, in a discrete period of time (e.g., within any 2-hour period), an amount of food that is definitely larger than most people would eat during a similar period of time and under similar circumstances -a sense of lack of control over eating during the episode (e.g., a feeling that one cannot stop eating or control what or how much one is eating)
Slide 12-

Description Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior in order to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting; misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, or other medications; fasting; or excessive exercise. The binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors both occur, on average, at least twice a week for 3 months. Self-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight. The disturbance does not occur exclusively during episodes of Anorexia Nervosa.
Slide 13-

Symptoms Eating large amounts of food uncontrollably (binging) Vomiting, using laxatives, or using other methods to eliminate food (purging) Excessive concern about body weight Depression or changes in mood Irregular menstrual periods Unusual dental problems, swollen cheeks or glands, heartburn, or bloating (swelling of the stomach)
Slide 14-

Warning Signs That Counselors Look For Evidence of binge eating Evidence of purging behaviors Excessive, rigid exercise regimen Unusual swelling of the cheeks and jaw area Calluses on the back of the hands and knuckles from self-induced vomiting Discoloration or staining of teeth
Slide 15-

Warning Signs That Counselors Look For Creation of lifestyle schedules and rituals to make time for binge-and-purge sessions Withdrawal from friends and activities In general, behaviors and attitudes indicating that weight loss, dieting, and control of food are becoming primary concerns
Slide 16-

Developmental Level The average onset of Bulimia begins in late adolescence or early adult life Usually between the ages of 16 and 21 However, more and more women in their 30s are reporting that they suffer from Bulimia
Slide 17-

Prevalence The prevalence of Bulimia Nervosa among adolescent and young adult females is approximately 1%-3%. The rate of occurrence in males is approximately one-tenth of that in females.
Slide 18-

Bulimia Nervosa *onset and course usually begins in late adolescence or early adult life and affects 1-2% of young women 90% of individuals are female frequently begins during or after an episode of dieting course may be chronic or intermittent for a high percentage the disorder persists for at least several years periods of remission often alternate with recurrences of binge eating purging becomes an addiction
Slide 19-

Bulimia Nervosa*onset and course cont.. occurs with similar frequencies in most industrialized countries most individuals presenting with the disorder in the U.S. are Caucasian. only 6% of people with bulimia receive mental health care the incidence of bulimia in 10-39 year old women TRIPLED between 1988 and 1993
Slide 20-

Health Consequences of Bulimia Nervosa: Causes electrolyte imbalances that can lead to irregular heartbeats and possibly heart failure and death. Electrolyte imbalance is caused by dehydration and loss of potassium and sodium from the body as a result of purging behaviors. Inflammation and possible rupture of the esophagus from frequent vomiting. Tooth decay and staining from stomach acids released during frequent vomiting. Chronic irregular bowel movements and constipation as a result of laxative abuse. Gastric rupture is an uncommon but possible side effect of binge eating.
Slide 21-

Anorexia Nervosa*onset and course mean age at onset is 17 years affects about 1% of all females in late adolescence and early adulthood bi-modal peaks at ages 14 and 18 rarely occurs in females over age 40 course and outcome are highly variable recover after a single episode fluctuation pattern of weight gain followed by relapse chronic deteriorating course of the illness over many years
Slide 22-

Onset often associated with a stressful life event: leaving home for college termination or disruption of an intimate relationship family problems physical abuse sexual abuse
Slide 23-

Anorexia Nervosa*onset and course cot. Deluded thinking develops some girls believe they can ward of pregnancy by being thin fast track professionals believe the only way they can compete in a “man’s world” is to be thin being thin is the only way to receive attention
Slide 24-

Anorexia Nervosa*onset and course cont.. Other developments throughout the course of anorexia dramatic weight loss preoccupation with food and dieting refusal to eat certain foods progresses to restrictions against whole categories of food (i.e.; carbohydrates) denial of hunger anxiety about gaining weight or being fat consistent excuses to avoid meal times withdrawal from friends and activities development of food rituals eating foods in certain orders, excessive chewing, rearranging food on a plate
Slide 25-

Health Consequences of Anorexia Nervosa Abnormally slow heart rate and low blood pressure, which mean that the heart muscle is changing. The risk for heart failure rises as heart rate and blood pressure levels sink lower and lower. Reduction of bone density (osteoporosis), which results in dry, brittle bones. Muscle loss and weakness. Severe dehydration, which can result in kidney failure. Fainting, fatigue, and overall weakness. Dry hair and skin, hair loss is common. Growth of a downy layer of hair called lanugo all over the body, including the face, in an effort to keep the body warm.

Causes of Eating Disorders Personality Traits Genetics Environmental Influences Biochemistry
Slide 27-

Personality Traits Low self-esteem Feelings of inadequacy or lack of control in life Fear of becoming fat Depressed, anxious, angry, and lonely feelings Rarely disobey Keep feelings to themselves Perfectionists Achievement oriented Good students Excellent athletes Competitive careers
Slide 28-

Personality traits contribute to the development of eating disorders because: Food and the control of food is used as an attempt to cope with feelings and emotions that seem overwhelming Having followed the wishes of others... Not learned how to cope with problems typical of adolescence, growing up, and becoming independent People binge and purge to reduce stress and relieve anxiety Anorexic people thrive on taking control of their bodies and gaining approval from others Highly value external reinforcement and acceptance
Slide 29-

Genetic Factors May Predispose People to Eating Disorders*Studies Suggest: Increased risk of anorexia nervosa among first-degree biological relatives of individuals with the disorder increased risk of mood disorders among first-degree biological relatives of people with anorexia, particularly the binge-eating/purging type. Twin studies concordant rates for monozygotic twins is significantly higher than those for dizygotic twins. Mothers who are overly concerned about their daughter’s weight and physical attractiveness might cause increase risk for development of eating disorders. Girls with eating disorders often have brothers and a father who are overly critical of their weight.
Slide 30-

Genetics Linked to Anorexia, Bingeing- Indianapolis Star, March 12, 2006 2 new studies show that genetics may outweigh environmental factors in producing eating disorders. 1) Records from 30,000 Swedish twins found identical twins more likely to share an eating problem than fraternal twins or non twin siblings found that genes were responsible for 56% of the cases. “People need to understand that they are fighting their biology and not just a psychological need to be thin” - Dr. Cynthia Bulik of University of North Carolina School of Medicine
Slide 31-

Genetics linked to anorexia, bingeing- Indianapolis Star, March 12, 2006 2) Strong genetic contribution to binge-eating - Dr. James Hudson at Harvard Medical School Interviewed the parents, siblings, and children of 300 people, half with a history of binge-eating Findings: family members of binge-eaters were twice as likely to have a similar eating disorder than those without a history. relatives of binge-eaters were more than twice as likely to be obese
Slide 32-

Environmental Factors- Interpersonal and Social Interpersonal Factors troubled family and personal relationships difficulty expressing emotions and feelings history of being teased or ridiculed based on size or weight history of trauma, sexual, physical and/or mental abuse 60-75% of all bulimia nervosa patients have a history of physical and/or sexual abuse
Slide 33-

Environmental Factors Social Factors (media and cultural pressures) Cultural pressures that glorify "thinness" and place value on obtaining the "perfect body” Narrow definitions of beauty that include only women and men of specific body weights and shapes Cultural norms that value people on the basis of physical appearance and not inner qualities and strengths People pursing professions or activities that emphasize thinness are more susceptible ie. Modeling, dancing, gymnastics, wresting, long distance running
Slide 34-

Environmental Factors Media messages help to create the context within which people learn to place value on the size and shape of their body. Advertising and celebrity spot lights scream “thin is in,” defining what is beautiful and good. Media has high power over the development of self-esteem.
Slide 35-

Some Basic Facts About the Media’s Influence in Our Lives: According to a recent survey of adolescent girls, the media is their main source of information about women’s health issues Researchers estimate that 60% of Caucasian middle school girls read at least one fashion magazine regularly Another study of mass media magazines discovered that women’s magazines had 10.5 times more advertisements and articles promoting weight loss than men’s magazines did A study of one teen adolescent magazine over the course of 20 years found that in articles about fitness or exercise plans, 74% cited “to become more attractive” as a reason to start exercising and 51% noted the need to lose weight or burn calories The average young adolescent watches 3-4 hours of TV per day A study of 4,294 network television commercials revealed that 1 out of every 3.8 commercials send some sort of “attractiveness message,” telling viewers what is or is not attractive (as cited in Myers et al., 1992). These researchers estimate that the average adolescent sees over 5,260 “attractiveness messages” per year.
Slide 36-

Biochemical Factors Chemical imbalances in the neuroendocrine system these imbalances control hunger, appetite, digestion, sexual function, sleep, heart and kidney function, memory, emotions, and thinking Serotonin and norepinephrine are decreased in acutely ill anorexia and bulimia patients representing a link between depression and eating disorders Excessive levels of cortisol in both anorexia and depression caused by a problem that occurs in or near the hypothalamus
Slide 37-

Anorexia Treatment Three main phases: Restoring weight lost Treating psychological issues, such as: Distortion of body image, low self-esteem, and interpersonal conflicts. Achieving long-term remission and rehabilitation. Early diagnosis and treatment increases the treatment success rate.
Slide 38-

Bulimia Treatment Primary Goal Cut down or eliminate binging and purging Patients establish patterns of regular eating Treatment Involves: Psychological support Focuses on improvement of attitudes related to E.D. Encourages healthy but not excessive exercise Deals with mood or anxiety disorders Nutritional Counseling Teaches the nutritional value of food Dietician is used to help in meal planning strategies Medication management Antidepressants (SSRI’s) are effective to treat patients who also have depression, anxiety, or who do not respond to therapy alone May help prevent relapse
Slide 39-

Eating Disorder Treatment Group Therapy Provides a supportive network Members have similar issues Can address many issues, including: Alternative coping strategies Exploration of underlying issues Ways to change behaviors Long-term goals
