Many of us heard at least once a word „Anorexia“, it sounds very strange and it is not clear from the word itself. I think once we get older we then learn the meaning of this word. Often people who are very slim and who do not eat well will be questioned if they have anorexia. So let’s clarify what then this word mean.
Anorexia is a psychological disorder and that is often happen in young age, like in teenager and often it is young girls or female can suffer from it. The reason why? Maybe for girls, it is important to be beautiful and to be loved one. I believe, often among the girls in teenager age they may tease the girls who are a bit overweight and others sometimes seeing that may get depression and stop eating even though they sometimes have normal weight.
The main causes of anorexia:
- psychological, depression or sometimes they think that they are overweight
- teenager time: children wanted to be like others and repeat something after their example mates
Sometimes the people with anorexia even though they eat in front of others, they often make themself sick after meal to maintain low weight. Also sometimes they took laxatives in order to have diarrhoea so that the food does not have time to be digested and uptaken by the body.
The treatment is very important:*
support of family and close people who sometimes will be first who can recognise the condition and support as soon as possible
often these people need psychologist, because they are specialists and could identify what is the trigger and get on the top of symptoms earlier as possible
sometimes the group of people with the same problem, self-help group who could speak up and share their experience and help with their tips and advises.
Sometimes it could lead to dangerous condition to the health that is why it is important to recognise before it is too late.
I hope you also learnt something interesting today and I would like to invite @dave-hanny, @meriseptriyanti @djvijay for the contest.
