  3. Diagnostic criteria for 307.1 • Individuals with this eating disorder keep their body weight below a minimal normal level by exercise, control of food intake, and other means.

  4. Prevalence of Anorexia Nervosa What I DO NOT want: I Want: Gender issue - Men v women, Population – especially in America, something unusual – unique – different…. Simplify: • Almost 50% of people with eating disorders meet the criteria for depression. • Only 1 in 10 men and women with eating disorders receive treatment. • Up to 24 million people of all ages and genders suffer from an eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder) in the U.S.3 • Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.

  5. Etiology (Causes)What NOT to do – simply • Psychological causes and risk factors for anorexia • People with anorexia are often perfectionists and overachievers. They’re the “good” daughters and sons who do what they’re told, excel in everything they do, and focus on pleasing others. But while they may appear to have it all together, inside they feel helpless, inadequate, and worthless. Through their harshly critical lens, if they’re not perfect, they’re a total failure.

  6. Etiology (Causes)What NOT to do – simply • Family and social pressures • In addition to the cultural pressure to be thin, there are other family and social pressures that can contribute to anorexia. This includes participation in an activity that demands slenderness, such as ballet, gymnastics, or modeling. It also includes having parents who are overly controlling, put a lot of emphasis on looks, diet themselves, or criticize their children’s bodies and appearance. Stressful life events—such as the onset of puberty, a breakup, or going away to school—can also trigger anorexia.

  7. Etiology (Causes)What NOT to do – simply • Biological causes of anorexia • Research suggests that a genetic predisposition to anorexia may run in families. If a girl has a sibling with anorexia, she is 10 to 20 times more likely than the general population to develop anorexia herself. Brain chemistry also plays a significant role. People with anorexia tend to have high levels of cortisol, the brain hormone most related to stress, and decreased levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, which are associated with feelings of well-being.

  8. Etiology (Causes)What to do – simplify!!!!! • Psychological causes • Perfectionists • Overachievers • Family and social pressures • Cultural pressure to be thin • ballet, gymnastics, or modeling • Stressful life events • Biological causes • Genetic predisposition • Brain chemistry

  9. Treatment What NOT to do – simply • Medical treatment for anorexia • The first priority in anorexia treatment is addressing and stabilizing any serious health issues. Hospitalization may be necessary if you are dangerously malnourished or so distressed that you no longer want to live. You may also need to be hospitalized until you reach a less critical weight. Outpatient treatment is an option when you’re not in immediate medical danger. • Nutritional treatment for anorexia • A second component of anorexia treatment is nutritional counseling. A nutritionist or dietician will teach you about healthy eating and proper nutrition. The nutritionist will also help you develop and follow meal plans that include enough calories to reach or maintain a normal, healthy weight. • Counseling and therapy for anorexia • Counseling is crucial to anorexia treatment. Its goal is to identify the negative thoughts and feelings that fuel your eating disorder and replace them with healthier, less distorted beliefs. Another important goal of counseling is to teach you how to deal with difficult emotions, relationship problems, and stress in a productive, rather than a self-destructive, way.

  10. Treatment What to do – simplify!!!!! • Medical treatment • Stabilizing weight • Nutritional treatment • Learn to eat healthy • Counseling and therapy • Help to change negative thoughts to positive thinking • Teach how to deal with difficult situations
