Binge eating disorder

The disorder that I choose would have to be Anorexia, Antipsychotic medication used for Anorexia that Im choosing. These drugs are used to treat depression, and I believe that depression is one cause of Anorexia, along with others but is one when someone has depression they don't even want to eat anymore and so I believe that depression and Anorexia are associated in that case, the case that Anorexia is the extreme of depression in other words because I believe that depression could get to an…

based on height and weight and the World Health Organization classifies someone with a BMI of less than 18.5 as "underweight." Well most models in the fashion industry are underweight and for the more overweight people this ends up causing eating issues, disorders, or even suicide. Only because most girls at a young age want to be like the fit models and social media also promotes unhealthy issues, like “am I too fat”. On Nov. 17, 2010, anorexia nervosa claimed the life of 28-year-old French…

shames body images to a certain extent. These images increase eating disorders, plus size model discrimination, and global monstrosity. Media, social and peer pressures influence the way teens see themselves. Their mental perception of what they look like can become distorted, leading them to engage in risk behaviors when they feel they don’t measure up to the impossible goal set in front of them. Self image issues can lead to eating disorders, drug and alcohol use, cutting, bullying and sexual…

problem here in the United States. People are less active, and eat unhealthy foods much more often. From the looks of it, obesity appears to be a meidcal condition; however, I believe that it can also be a psychological disorder, depending on a persons symptoms. All eating disorders, obesity, anorexia, bulimia, or others tend to have a shared trait: the victim of the condition is not thinking normally. They wouldn't be considered 'conditions' if they were. These people experience the urge…

Yes, I believe not only by the strictest definition, I was an alcoholic but I was over weight. Not saying I was morbidly obese, but going from the military regiment to daily drinking after retirement didn't help at all. I found myself sweating while just sitting and watching television, out of breath after short walks, and unable to get my wedding rind on and off my finger. Not to mention the custom suits I had made, now are custom fit to a body of a much smaller person. The clothes aside, it…

Eating disorders are all around us. The person you believe to be extremely confident, can barely look at himself in the mirror. The girl who you wish you were like, she is just starting to eat again. You can’t always see it by looking at someone. Once you talk to them you can learn that depression takes over their life and they can’t sleep at night because of their anxiety. In America 30 million people have suffered from an eating disorder at one point in their life. One out of a hundred women…

In Kristen Harrison and Joanne Cantor’s research study “The Relationship Between Media Consumption and Eating Disorder” they looked at media use by college age males and females and for females focused on relationship between media use and body dissatisfaction and drive for thinness. Body dissatisfaction and desire to be thinner represent two possible motives of a person who is at the beginning stages of Anorexia Nervosa in that one’s dissatisfaction with his or her body image may push them to…

Eating disorders are a daily struggle for 10 million females and 1 million males in the United States, whether these disorders are anorexia or bulimia. Four out of ten individuals have either personally experienced an eating disorder at some point in their life or know someone who has. Furthermore, 50% of teenage girls and 30% of teenage boys use unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives to control their weight ("Eating…

I just don't really... Really get it. You know, just...eat.' For people who haven’t actually experienced them firsthand, eating disorders make very little sense. Why would you knowingly starve yourself? Or overeat? It’s easy for us to tell these people to ‘just eat’ or ‘stop eating so much’ but the reality of the situation is so much more complicated, and even eating disorder sufferers themselves often can’t articulate why they’re hurting themselves. In a telling scene in Marti Noxon’s feature…

With nearly half of the adult population of the United States overweight or obese, there is clearly a nationwide problem, according to the American Heart Association. Still, losing the excess weight and keeping it off for the long haul is extremely challenging for many people. Phentermine is a drug that’s called an anorectic, which means it helps control your appetite. Luckily, phentermine is legal and safe, when used as intended.
