Book excerpt: Everyone has heard of eating disorders bingeing. Television, magazines, tabloids, and the Internet keep readers and viewers up-to-date on which celebrities seem too thin on the red carpet or too fat on the beach. But how much do people really understand about these diseases?The answer is: not enough. Eating disorders are not only consuming too little or too much. These are serious psychological diseases. They affect up to 24 million American men and women of all ages, races and ethnic groups.Unfortunately, most people who die of hunger, throat, or vomit after eating never go to care because they are too scared and ashamed.

They almost never recover on their own. Those who do not get help can end up with permanent medical problems. They can even die. It is essential to seek early treatment.This book covers the three main eating disorders, anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder, as well as some less common eating disorders. It describes causes and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, risk factors and prevention and promising research. You will also read inspiring stories of real people who have overcome their eating disorders and lead a healthy and productive life.

This book was released on 2024-05-13 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to "Invisible Battles: Rare Psychological Conditions and Their Impact" This book is not a dense academic text meant for psychology professionals; instead, it's a journey into the lesser-known corners of the human mind designed for the common person. Imagine a world where the mind plays tricks , not with playful illusions, but with a relentless reality that feels entirely real. This is the hidden landscape of rare psychological conditions, where individuals fight battles invisible to the naked eye. "Invisible Battles: Rare Psychological Conditions and Their Impact" delves into the fascinating and often-misunderstood realm of these disorders. Forget the Hollywood dramatizations; here, we explore the true stories – the struggles to navigate a world that doesn't understand, the triumphs of resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges, and the complexities that defy easy categorization. Why this book? Because awareness is the first step towards understanding and empathy. We often hear about common mental health conditions, but there's a vast spectrum of rare psychological disorders that remain in the shadows. Through these pages, we aim to shine a light on these conditions, unraveling their complexities, challenges, and the individuals who navigate them. However, a crucial note: this book is not a diagnostic tool. It's not a checklist for self-analysis. Instead, it's an invitation to expand your understanding, to foster compassion, and to break down stigmas surrounding mental health. Remember, if you're leading a happy life and your daily routine isn't hindered by any unusual challenges, you're likely just fine. This book isn't about creating unnecessary worry but rather about fostering a deeper appreciation for the diverse ways our minds can work. But "Invisible Battles" isn't just about the darkness. We'll also explore the unexpected strengths that can emerge from these conditions. Synesthesia can unlock a world of vibrant creativity, while those with autism spectrum disorder can offer unique perspectives and talents. We'll see how facing seemingly insurmountable challenges can lead to incredible resilience and a deeper understanding of the human experience. So, let's embark on this enlightening journey together, delving into the worlds of rare psychological conditions with curiosity, empathy, and an open mind.

Years of self-harm and self-loathing have fueled the inner battles between good and evil, health and sickness, and life and death. Acting on stage offers her moments of freedom from the skewed perceptions she's constructed over the years. But her dream of a career in theater is not enough to save her. What is the secret that will finally unleash her will to recover?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do YOU WANT TO GET BETTER, but are afraid to let go of your eating disorder? After all, your eating disorder has defined who you are, has been a constant in your life, and has helped you cope and navigate your own world. To leave it behind would mean you wouldn't know who you are, how to act, or where to begin. Right? Wrong. According to renowned eating disorder specialist and bestselling author Ira M. Sacker, M.D., thoughts like these are due to something he calls the Eating Disorder Identity, which is a major road block in preventing you from getting better. In Regaining Your Self, Dr. Sacker introduces and defines this concept for you, explaining that in order to move away from the Eating Disorder Identity, you must transition to a new identity— the true self you were meant to be. The journey of finding out who you really are without your eating disorder begins here. Regaining Your Self offers you hope as well as hope to individuals, loved ones, and treatment professionals who are working toward freedom from the power of the eating disorders.

This book was released on 2008-10-20 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to address what really happens behind closed doors during eating disorders treatment, as most writing has only addressed theoretical approaches and behavioral strategies. The field has long needed a book that describes the heart of the matter: the therapeutic interventions and interactions that comprise life-changing treatment for this life-threatening disorder. In response to this need, the authors have created a book that reflects the individual therapeutic skills and the collective wisdom of senior clinicians, all of whom have years of experience treating anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. Intended to be a deeply thoughtful and instructive volume, Effective Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Eating Disorders: The Heart of the Matter demonstrates the depth, complexity, and impact of the therapeutic process. In particular, the book articulates and explores essential points of information, issues, insights and unresolved questions about eating disorders treatment. Effective Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Eating Disorders describes and explicates important treatment issues and themes in a nuanced, highly contextualized and qualitative manner. The book offers a significant reference for both novice and seasoned therapists, and it includes specific information that will serve to inform and mentor future generations of eating disorders clinicians.

Download or read book Decoding Anorexia written by Carrie Arnold and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decoding Anorexia is the first and only book to explain anorexia nervosa from a biological point of view. Its clear, user-friendly descriptions of the genetics and neuroscience behind the disorder is paired with first person descriptions and personal narratives of what biological differences mean to sufferers. Author Carrie Arnold, a trained scientist, science writer, and past sufferer of anorexia, speaks with clinicians, researchers, parents, other family members, and sufferers about the factors that make one vulnerable to anorexia, the neurochemistry behind the call of starvation, and why it’s so hard to leave anorexia behind. She also addresses: • How environment is still important and influences behaviors • The characteristics of people at high risk for developing anorexia nervosa • Why anorexics find starvation “rewarding” • Why denial is such a salient feature, and how sufferers can overcome it Carrie also includes interviews with key figures in the field who explain their work and how it contributes to our understanding of anorexia. Long thought to be a psychosocial disease of fickle teens, this book alters the way anorexia is understood and treated and gives patients, their doctors, and their family members hope.
