    Eating disorders


    FOOD BEHAVIOR DISORDERS

    Ingrid. I. Bersenda

    With locutions Eating behavior disorders (DCA) all those problems concerning the relationship between individuals and the food.

    As we know and see in recent years this problem occurs with increasing frequency and moreover with new and different elements. Increasingly there are cases of eating disorders in ages that were not considered at risk, more and more it turns out to be a problem not only female but also male. Finally, I would like to underline how complex cases of atypical anorexia or of the combination or alternation of different eating disorders arrive more and more frequently in therapy.

    Nervous anorexia

    The person suffering from anorexia nervosa refuses food and the idea of ​​maintaining body weight above normal minimum weight; moreover it presents amenoreea or absence of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles (Falabella, 2001).

    anorexia, it persists, can lead to death.

    It is a symptom that accompanies distinct disease and can have multiple causes (Wikipedia).

    It can be treated on an individual and family level.

    Bulimia nervosa

    Bulimia nervosa is characterized by recurrent compulsive episodes of “binges” and by inappropriate ways to dispose of and expel what has been swallowed in order to avoid weight gain.

    The type of recommended therapeutic intervention is similar to that described for anorexia nervosa (Falabella, 2001).

    The Body dysmorphism it implies seeing one's own body inadequate.

    Obesity

    An individual whose fat mass is excessive is defined as obese, with body mass index greater than 30. Obesity is almost always related to other diseases, among these are cardiovascular dysfunctions, diabetes and stroke.

    Low calorie diet (followed by the dietician) and physical activity can help in less severe cases, but for the more problematic ones we also intervene with pharmacological or surgical therapies.

    Underlying obesity is almost always bad or excessive nutrition and a sedentary life, ma, despite this, obesity can also be linked to genetic conditions, environmental factors, hormonal and psyche dysfunction of the patient; here the cause of these eating disorders often resides. Psychological support is therefore essential to treat this disabling pathology (Wikipedia).

    Uncontrolled eating disorder or BED (Binge Eating Disorder)

    This disorder occurs with binge eating similar to bulimia, in the absence, however, of compensatory behavior (such as vomiting, the use of laxatives, etc.).

    Interpretation of eating disorders

    according to dr. Bersenda

    Definitely one exists in report a something or with someone (Gianfranco Cecchin).

    In order to be able to show others that it exists, one must be noticed and therefore can do it in various ways, for example to help oneself be accepted and to satisfy the need for belonging comes to have a relationship with food such that it must resort to drastic diets for want reach an ideal of beauty that he has never achieved or that he has achieved in the past and that has allowed him to experience fulfilling relational situations.

    Very often the continuous need for test yourself with food it can also derive from one low self-esteem and yes relationship problems with food and more. Indeed the bad relationship with food it also represents the relationship one has with oneself and one's body as well as the relationship one has with others.

    To resume well-being not only psycho-physical, but also relational of one's life, in my studio I offer a listening places of the suffering and of history unique and particular of each. Working esteem, the awareness of your own points of power and weakness in addition to the work of psychological support tied to the relationships you have with your family, relationships with peers, relations with employers and other colleagues, etc. you work together to improve your relationship with yourself, your body and others.
