6 What is an Eating Disorder? Eating disorders involve serious disturbances in eating behavior, such as extreme and unhealthy reduction of food intake or severe overeating, as well as feelings of distress or extreme concern about body shape or weight. Eating disorders do not discriminate between gender, class, race or age no one is immune. The four most common eating disorders are Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, and Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED). Anorexia Anorexia Nervosa is characterized as self-induced starvation resulting in low body weight. Individuals who are battling Anorexia fear weight gain and/or engage in persistent behaviors to avoid weight gain, even though they are actually underweight. They encounter disturbances in the experience of body weight and/or shape. Bulimia Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized as bingeing (excessive or compulsive consumption of food) and purging (getting rid of food). Symptoms may include repeated episodes of bingeing and purging, eating beyond the point of fullness, feeling out of control during a binge, inappropriate compensatory behaviors following a binge, frequent dieting, and extreme concern with body weight and/or shape. Binge Eating Disorder (BED) Binge Eating Disorder is characterized as recurring episodes of eating significantly more food in a short period of time than most people would eat under similar circumstances, with episodes marked by feelings of lack of control. This disorder is associated with marked distress and occurs, on average, at least once a week over three months. Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders (OSFED) Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorders (OSFED) are characterized as disturbances in eating behavior that do not meet all criteria for anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating disorder. It is a common eating disorder diagnosis. Examples of OSFED include: atypical anorexia nervosa, purging disorder, and night-eating syndrome. Warning signs and related medical/psychological conditions of OSFED are similar to, and just as severe as, those for the other eating disorders. 6 allianceforeatingdisorders.com Contributing Factors may include Biological factors: Eating disorders often run in families. Of all the factors that determine who develops an eating disorder, 50-80% of those factors are genetic. Social factors: Unrealistic pressures to obtain the perfect body; constant exposure to images of perfection; and narrow definitions of beauty. Psychological factors: Substantial co-morbidity with other mental health disorders (i.e. depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder); low self-esteem; and feelings of loss of control. Interpersonal factors: History of abuse; teasing about size or weight; traumatic life event(s); and difficulty expressing feelings and emotions..

9 What is Binge Eating Disorder? BINGE EATING DISORDER (BED) is characterized as recurring episodes of eating significantly more food in a short period of time than most people would eat under similar circumstances, with episodes marked by feelings of lack of control. This disorder is associated with marked distress and occurs, on average, at least once a week over three months (American Psychiatric Association).

10 For Males Misconceptions about eating disorders being a female disease (or a gay disease when seen in males) often perpetuate strong feelings of shame in males about having an eating disorder. This shame may result in denial of the eating disorder and/or reluctance to seek treatment. Eating disorders are clinically similar in both genders, but differ in some gender-specific aspects. In comparison to females, males tend to be more concerned with body size, specifically with building muscle, than with weight loss. Male eating disorders are on the rise, and the numbers are increasing rapidly. A 2007 study by Harvard Medical School found that 25% (not the traditionally stated 10-15%) of study participants with anorexia and bulimia were male. An estimated 40% of those with binge eating disorder are male. Signs and Symptoms may include Low self-esteem Perfectionistic attitude Over-achievement/high expectations Avoidance of conflict Depression and/or anxiety Need for control Feelings of worthlessness Feelings of self-loathing Need for acceptance Difficultly expressing emotions Contributing Factors may include Genetics Being overweight or obese as a child Being abused/teased as a child Participating in weight-oriented sports such as wrestling, horse jockeying, or football Gender identity/sexual orientation Co-morbidity with other disorders History of dieting For more information on Males and Eating Disorders allianceforeatingdisorders.com Muscle Dysmorphia Muscle Dysmorphia most often seen in males is a disorder that causes a person to constantly obsess and/or worry about being too small, underdeveloped, and/or underweight. Typically those with Muscle Dysmorphia are not frail or underdeveloped at all, and actually have high muscle mass. They obsess about having the perfect physique and believe their muscles are inadequate. This disorder is a form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder and is related to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Those with Muscle Dysmorphia constantly obsess over their imperfections, further distorting their self perception. This can significantly impair the person s mood, often leading to depression or other emotional distress. Feelings of inadequacy may affect many areas of their life. Warning Signs of Muscle Dysmorphia may include Distorted self-image Missing social events, skipping work, and cancelling plans in order to work out Never being satisfied with one s muscle mass Working out despite an injury Maintaining extreme workout methods Maintaining a strict high-protein and low-fat diet Using excessive amounts of food supplements Steroid abuse, unnecessary plastic surgery, and even suicide attempts 2014
11 For Loved Ones Eating disorders affect not only the individual who is suffering, but also those around them. Loved ones desperately want to help their friend/family member, but often anything they say will be met with anger, frustration, denial, or avoidance. Do Not Deny a Problem Exists! It can be difficult to believe a loved one is capable of hurting himself/herself by means of an eating disorder. If your loved one displays signs and symptoms from the previous pages, seek help immediately. Early intervention greatly increases the likelihood of recovery. It is also important that you, the family and friends of someone going through an eating disorder, get help and support for yourselves. Please consider attending family therapy and/or a family and friends support group. It is crucial that you maintain your physical and emotional health so you can help your loved one when he/she needs you. How to Help a Loved One Do Learn about eating disorders (See pg. 13 for suggested reading) Find an appropriate time and place to talk to the individual in private Communicate your concerns using I statements Stress the importance of professional, specialized help Be mindful of your words/actions Express your continued support Validate your loved one s feelings, struggles, and accomplishments Ask what your loved one needs from you and how you can help Take care of your own mental, physical, and emotional health Don t Don t be scared Don t engage in a power struggle and/or try to force the individual to eat or not eat Don t bring up stressful topics during mealtime Don t attempt to solve or fix his/her problems Don t blame yourself or your loved one Don t comment on calorie/food intake, weight, appearance, etc., even in a positive way Don t expect recovery to be perfect Don t promise to keep it a secret Please Remember CPR C P R You didn t CAUSE it. You can t CONTROL it. You can t CURE it. You can learn how NOT to CONTRIBUTE to it. You need to learn how to COPE with it. Take CARE of yourself. Avoid PANIC. It prohibits clear thinking and calm reactions. Recovery is a PROCESS. Two steps forward and one backwards. PROGRESS, not PERFECTION, is the goal. PATIENCE is critical. RESPOND instead of REACT. REMEMBER to listen. REFLECT and REASON before you speak. RECOVERY is a journey, a long ROAD that may include RELAPSE. REACH out to others for love and support allianceforeatingdisorders.com 11
12 What to Ask and Expect Effective eating disorder treatment usually requires a team of professionals, who will work together to address the medical, psychological, nutritional, and psychiatric components of the illness. Many people want to know exactly what treatment will be like and how long it will last, but no one can really know it is different for each individual. Remember, even the most renowned therapist in the world may not be the best therapist for you, just as no one outfit is the perfect fit for everyone. If you feel that the first, second, or even third person you see is not a good fit, don t be afraid to make a change. If it isn t working, you have no obligation to stay. Do not think that just because the first person you see does not work out, no therapy is going to work. Members of the Treatment Team Ideally, all should specialize in treating eating disorders PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN: A doctor that is knowledgeable about eating disorders should be your first step in the process of treatment and is a MUST for everyone with an eating disorder. The physician will assess the individual s physical condition. The physician will continue to be part of the treatment team and will monitor the person to make sure they remain medically stable. He/she will work in concert with the therapeutic team to decide if you are able to receive treatment on an outpatient basis or if you must receive a higher level of care. THERAPIST: The therapist focuses on eating disorder symptoms, as well as the underlying issues that contribute to and help to maintain the eating disorder. The therapist will also assist you in learning steps toward recovery, including healthier coping skills and stress management techniques; so you will no longer need to rely on the eating disorder. Types of therapy include Individual,, Family, Art, Movement, etc. DIETITIAN/NUTRITIONIST: At the beginning, the role of the dietitian is to stabilize nutritional status and correct any deficits. The dietitian will help develop a nutrition plan that meets the individual s needs, stabilizes body chemistry, and establishes healthier eating patterns. Their goal is not to change eating habits overnight, but to build a healthier relationship with food for their client. PSYCHIATRIST: Psychopharmacological intervention is a very important part of treatment for a large portion of those battling eating disorders. The psychiatrist can prescribe medicine to help improve mood disturbances (i.e. depression and anxiety). Medications may also help curb obsessive and compulsive thoughts and rituals. DENTIST: Physical changes in one s mouth are one of the first signs that an eating disorder is present. Studies show that up to 89% of individuals with bulimia show signs of tooth erosion, and 28% are first diagnosed by dental professionals. It is imperative to see a dentist to check for any erosion, bone loss, and/or other damage done. 12 allianceforeatingdisorders.com Questions to ask a potential therapist 1. How much experience have you had working with eating disorders? 2. What percentage of your practice is devoted to treating people with eating disorders? 3. What kind of professional training do you have? Education? Licenses? 4. What do you charge for a session? 5. Do you take insurance? Which plans? Do you have any kind of sliding scale? If not, will you provide a receipt for out of network reimbursement? 6. What medical information do you need? Will I need a medical evaluation before entering your care? 7. What are your therapeutic philosophies and approaches? 8. How do you determine what treatment regimen I need? 9. Do you work with a treatment team? 10. What is your process of referral to a higher level of care if that is needed? 11. What is your appointment availability? How long does an appointment last? How often will we be meeting? 2014
