Psychologist, Dr. Skevoulla Xin- aris, spoke about eating disorders, such as Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa is characterized characterized by refusal to maintain minimum minimum weight for age and body type, coupled with an intense fear of gaining gaining weight and becoming fat even though being underweight. The on- cet is usually in girls between 14 and 18, although the behaviour begins begins much earlier. Thedisorder is accompanied by depression and social withdrawal and there is a high mortality rate - cardiac arrest or suicide. Bulimia is the rapid consumption of a large amount of food in under two hours - an amount not normally eaten in that period of time - followed by vo- mitting. Bulimia frequently follows a period of dieting and sometimes substance abuse is involved; 80-90 percent believe they are overweight and over 90 percent consider themselves themselves to be bigger and heavier than they are. Bulimic people tend to have low self-esteem and personality personality disorders. Eating disorders arc not usually about eating. There has been much research, but we have little definitive definitive knowledge about the disorders. Excessive exercise can be a cause for concern. It is believed there may be a hereditary component; girls and women arc socialized to be concerned concerned about their appearance and to strive for thinness and social pressures pressures arc intense to meet the perceived perceived standard in our North American American culture. The goal is to try and encourage those suffering from these disorders to talk about themselves and to become become aware of how they feel, to help them feel better about relationships relationships and about themselves, to develop develop alternative ways of coping with their feelings and supporting them to improve their coping strategies; strategies; to normalize eating and body weight to overcome the electrolytic imbalance which has affected the body operation.
