They typically appear during adolescence or early adulthood, a time when young people are heading to college or interviewing for a first job. Many people recover fully from eating disorders, but others become chronically ill, and symptoms can continue into middle age and beyond. Written by leading authorities in eating disorders research and treatment, Eating Disorders: What Everyone Needs to Know® answers common questions about eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, as well as a newly described condition, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Practical yet authoritative, the book defines the eating disorders, explains what we know about them based on the latest science, and describes how treatment works. Importantly, the book dispels common myths about eating disorders, such as the notion that they occur only amongst the affluent, that they affect only girls and women, or that they simply result from environmental factors such as the fashion industry and society's obsession with thinness. In reality, as the book explains, there is substantial evidence that eating disorders are brain-based illnesses that do not discriminate, and that they have been around for a very long time. Eating Disorders: What Everyone Needs to Know® is essential reading for those seeking authoritative and current information about these often misunderstood illnesses.

Download or read book It Was Never About the Food written by Dr. Tony Paulson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-04-29 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It Was Never about the Food shows that recovery from eating disorders is possible. Whether you are someone entering treatment, returning to treatment, supporting someone in treatment, or even contemplating treatment, it is intended to shine a spotlight on the path to recovery. The authors share the stories of four individuals who developed and struggled with an eating disorder ... and overcame it. The stories answer questions such as: • What role does an eating disorder play in someone’s life? • How does an eating disorder develop and how harmful can it be? • What does the path to recovery look like? Through these stories, you will see that recovery does not come from a predictable formula. You cannot say to anyone suffering from an eating disorder that if he or she would simply do X, Y, and Z, he or she will recover. Eating disorders require a personalized and comprehensive approach to recovery. A major component to recovery seems to be the willingness to ask for help and to accept support from others—and recognizing that it is never about the food.

Download or read book Binge Eating Disorder written by Michael Miller and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-26 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BINGE EATING DISORDER Do you consume abnormally large amounts of food in one sitting? Do you doubt that your untimely binging is a problem? Are you someone who is not comfortable revealing that you suffer from binge eating disorder? If your answer to any of the above questions is a "YES" then you have got hold of the right book. Binge eating is a serious disorder that masks itself as overeating and can go undetected for long periods of time. It may surprise you, but binge eating affects more people than bulimia and anorexia. Consuming abnormally large amounts of food in one sitting becomes a regular feature in the life of binge eaters. Most of these individuals don't even recognize that there's something wrong with them until they get overweight or obese. Part of the reason why this happens is because there is a lack of awareness among people with regards to this disorder. The symptoms are often passed off as overeating and most people think that it's normal for someone to eat until their guts hurt. The very reason we wanted to come up with a book for people suffering from binge eating disorder was to spread awareness about it so they don't face the issues many people did and ignore the problem. Through the course of the book, we intend to openly discuss binge eating in detail. Until now if you thought that you might have to live with this disorder forever, this guide will prove you wrong. Here is a quick snapshot of what is covered in the book: Details of BED (binge eating disorder) Symptoms of BED Preventive measures Steps to eliminate the habit Facts on binge eating Role of the society, family and media towards eating disorders Habits that trigger binging So what are you waiting for?
