Definition: Anorexia is an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted perception of weight. People with anorexia place a high value on controlling their weight and shape, using extreme efforts that tend to significantly interfere with their lives. Symptoms: 1. Extreme weight loss or not making expected developmental weight gains. 2. Severely restricting food intake through dieting or fasting. 3. Denial of hunger or making excuses for not eating. Causes: 1. Biological: Although it's not yet clear which genes are involved, there may be genetic changes that make some people at higher risk of developing anorexia. 2. Psychological: Some people with anorexia may have obsessive-compulsive personality traits that make it easier to stick to strict diets and forgo food despite being hungry. They may have an extreme drive for perfectionism, which causes them to think they're never thin enough. 3. Environmental: Modern Western culture emphasizes thinness. Success and worth are often equated with being thin. Peer pressure may help fuel the desire to be thin, particularly among young girls. Complications: 1. Anemia 2. Heart problems 3. Substance abuse Treatments: 1. Counselling 2. Neuro-linguistic Programing (NLP) 3. Hypnosis Wong Medical Centre provides counselling for Anorexia.
