Eating disorders

Dear readers, Today I’ll write a bit about the first thing that usually comes to most people’s mind after mentioning disorders - and more specifically eating disorders. So, how you probably know eating disorders can be divided into two groups: anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. First of them involves deliberately avoiding meals for fear of gaining weight. As a result, the patient loses significant weight, becomes emaciated and suffers from numerous metabolic ailments. Anorexia nervosa might also be divided sections which I would like to tell you about in the next blog. On the other hand, we have bulimia nervosa which is consisting of compulsive eating and then inducing vomiting or taking laxatives. Both conditions are very debilitating for the body. Not only are they dangerous to health, but they are also quite life-threatening. When help does not arrive in time, they unfortunately quite often end tragically. Therefore, let us be vigilant - not only when observing our own disorders, but let us also observe our loved ones. In the hands of each and every one of us may be their life and health.
