Eating disorders affect every woman or man, but generally, it is a psychological disorder that can be seen more frequently in women between the ages of 15 and 24. Although an eating disorder is often perceived as body and weight, it is a mental condition. In other words, it shows that there are other underlying problems in a person with an eating disorder. When these problems are not dealt with, they exhibit some eating disorder behaviors.
Eating disorder has four subheadings. These are;
- Bulimia
- Uncontrolled eating
- Other specified eating disorder
- Anorexia nervosa
Most of us have complained about me in terms of shape or weight at some time. One of the reasons for this is that in a world surrounded by the bodies of models we see in the media and Barbie dolls that were played to us as children, the concept of 'beauty' as a perception is described as long and weak. If we look at it within the framework of this perception, it is possible for the person to have eating disorders due to these or other special reasons. In the light of this thought, having a negative body image causes them to lose their self-esteem and decrease their confidence. Men also desire to be thin and develop a V-shaped body, just like this situation. With the slightest difference in their weight or size, they react too much and cause them to be upset for hours. That's why they constantly plan and think about how to lose weight. It can go on for years in a vicious circle as they try to calm their anxiety. This causes them to develop unhealthy habits. At the same time, people with eating disorders weigh too much, they physically check the mirror and measure with a tape measure. They want them to be in control all the time.
Anxiety about their weight and body shape has negatively affected their relationships with people. They want to hide part of their body, they do not want to attend parties (because there is food and drink at the party), they are physically afraid of negative criticism. This causes him to isolate himself from the people around him and cause some other problems. may cause itching. In such cases, an increase in the symptoms of depression and anxiety was generally observed. Or vice versa. Depression can also say that it causes an eating disorder in some cases. It should not be forgotten that these conditions are problems that can be dealt with with psychotherapy.
