Answer:
Anorexia:-
- An eating disorder causing people to obsess about weight and what they eat.
- Anorexia is characterised by a distorted body image, with an unwarranted fear of being overweight.
- Symptoms include trying to maintain a below-normal weight through starvation or too much exercise:-
- Whole body: dehydration, dizziness, fainting, fatigue, feeling cold, low blood pressure, low body temperature, osteoporosis, or water-electrolyte imbalance
- Behavioural: binge eating, compulsive behaviour, hyperactivity, impulsivity, or social isolation
- Weight: extreme weight loss and thinness, underweight, or weight loss
- Mood: anxiety, apprehension, or guilt
- Gastrointestinal: constipation or vomiting
- Menstrual: absence of menstruation or irregular menstruation
- Developmental: delayed puberty or slow growth
- Also common: brittle nails, bruising, depression, dieting, dry hair, dry skin, headache, sensitivity to cold, or slow heart rate
- Treatment consists of therapy
- Medical treatment may be required to restore normal weight. Talk therapy can help with self-esteem and behavioural changes.
- Therapies:-
- Support group, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Counseling psychology, Interpersonal psychotherapy, Family therapy, Behaviour therapy, Psychotherapy, Brief psychotherapy, and Group psychotherapy
Nervosa:-
- nervosa, commonly called bulimia, is a serious, potentially life-threatening eating disorder. People with bulimia may secretly binge — eating large amounts of food with a loss of control over the eating — and then purge, trying to get rid of the extra calories in an unhealthy way.
- To get rid of calories and prevent weight gain, people with bulimia may use different methods. For example, you may regularly self-induce vomiting or misuse laxatives, weight-loss supplements, diuretics or enemas after bingeing. Or you may use other ways to rid yourself of calories and prevent weight gain, such as fasting, strict dieting or excessive exercise.
- If you have bulimia, you're probably preoccupied with your weight and body shape. You may judge yourself severely and harshly for your self-perceived flaws. Because it's related to self-image — and not just about food — bulimia can be hard to overcome. But effective treatment can help you feel better about yourself, adopt healthier eating patterns and reverse serious complications.
- Symptoms
- Bulimia signs and symptoms may include:
Being preoccupied with your body shape and weightLiving in fear of gaining weight
Repeated episodes of eating abnormally large amounts of food in one sitting
Feeling a loss of control during bingeing — like you can't stop eating or can't control what you eat
Forcing yourself to vomit or exercising too much to keep from gaining weight after bingeing
Using laxatives, diuretics or enemas after eating when they're not needed
Fasting, restricting calories or avoiding certain foods between binges
Using dietary supplements or herbal products excessively for weight loss.
