Possibilities of Treating Anorexia
Author: Groshan Fabiola
Anorexia is an eating disorder characterized mainly by an unreal perception of the weight. Persons who suffer of this physical and psychological affection believe that they are fat even though they are not at all like that. Anorexia requires an urgent treatment because it produces serious and irreplaceable damages and can even lead to death.
Not everyone who does not look fat is categorized as anorexic. Anorexic people are those who do not have the adequate weight for their height and age and still believe that they are fat.
Treatment is necessary because in women anorexia produces the loss of menstruation or an irregular menstruation, meaning infertility. Men might also develop hormone problems, meaning that the sex hormones level will decrease. Young girls who suffer of anorexia and do not follow a proper treatment will not grow up as they have to for their age and the menstruation will fail to come in their cases.
Treating anorexia is quite difficult because patients generally refuse to believe that they are skinny and that they must gain weight. All they see on their body is fat and they refuse to eat. A good treatment will make a change in the patient's way of thinking and they will begin to have a more positive view about their body.
Anorexia doe not give only a lack of menstruation; it gives depression, fears, irritability and strange behavior along with isolation. Some patients divide their meals into small pieces and categorize their food as safe and dangerous to eat. They are psychologically affected and this makes the treatment quite difficult.
Treatment is individualized because every patient has a specific issue that caused anorexia and treatment must first solve that issue in order to solve the whole case. One person might be afraid of new situations and changes in life and another might be afraid of growing up and assuming responsibilities. This is why treatment is specific to every patient and is not the same for all people.
Family and friends must encourage the ill person to go for a treatment and must support it emotionally during that period because it will be hard for it to get over this situation all by itself.
Nowadays there are a lot of special anorexia treatment facilities all over the world who have personnel well trained in dealing with your eating disorder and will know what to do to make you recover as soon as possible. Nobody said this is easy but it is best to try it because you will not get better by yourself.
