Anorexia : Anorexia nervosa is a psychological condition that typically affects adolescent girls. The condition is characterized by a fear of becoming "fat" or gaining weight. People suffering from anorexia will go to extreme lengths to avoid consuming food. Many anorexics become quite good at lying about having already eaten or they will often make excuses so that they can eat less or even avoid meals altogether. There is no predetermined cause for anorexia and the disorder will have a varied onset from person to person.
All people who suffer from anorexia have low self-esteem and a negative image of themselves. Anorexia and other eating disorders often start out as a diet but often change to an attempt to regain control of situations. People who suffer from anorexia may feel as though their life is out of control and that they can regain control by regulating what they put in their bodies as well as their weight. Anorexia is characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight.
This fear does not typically disappear when weight is lost. Anorexics normally have a dysmorphic unrealistic body image and claim to be fat when they are their skinniest. These sufferers refuse to maintain a normal body weight and there is no underlying disease state or condition to blame for the drastic weight loss.
In females suffering from anorexia, loss of a menstrual period for 3 consecutive months can also be a key to diagnosis. Bigorexia : Bigorexia is the opposite of anorexia. These people believe that they are underweight when in fact they are overweight. This disorder tends to affect bodybuilders and may be damaging to their social lives. The disorder typically affects men more than women due to the constant pressure to be muscular and built.
Binge-eating disorder : Binge-eating disorder is a period of overeating characterized by a period of shame and guilt. Binges are usually not accompanied by purging, although purging may accompany the binge. People who suffer from this eating disorder are usually overweight. There is no identifiable cause for binge-eating disorder and the onset is usually of an unknown origin.
Binge-eating disorder sufferers usually eat excessively to cope with their problems and generally feel out of control after they eat. Sufferers of binge-eating disorder are aware that they have an abnormal eating pattern and are fearful that they will not be able to stop eating voluntarily. Binging typically occurs twice a week for at least three months and is accompanied by a depressed mood and self-deprecating thoughts that follow eating binges.
Body dysmorphic disorder BDD : Body dysmorphic disorder is an obsession with a perceived defect with the sufferer's body. Typically, the face is the perceived flaw.
