Eating Disorder

Some psychologists also classify a syndrome called orthorexia as an eating disorder, or, more properly, disodrered eating - the person is overly obesssed with the consumption of what they see as the right foods for them, to the poitn that their nutrition and quality fo life suffers (although due to culutral and political factors which influence food choices, this idea is considered cotnroversial by osme). In addition, some individuals have food phobias about what they can and cnanot eat, which can be characetrised as an eating disorder. The UK broadcastre BBC3 have shown a series called Freaky Eatres that deals with such topics. Somewhat qualitatively different from those conditions previously metnioned is ipca, or the habitual ingestion of inedibles, usch as dirt, wood, hair, tec. This can be attributed to the fact that soceity is seen to put an emphasis on woman to be thin, and men to be bulked up . This cna lead to pressure on womna to be pictuer perfect , and an eating disorder prevails as a result of stress of not being abel to reach unattainable goals rleated to this picture perfect ideal. Also, it can be due to the fact that men are less likely ot seek help. Many people with eatign disorder can also have a comorbid diagonsis of one or more of the following: mood disorders and severe mental depression, 1 Obsessive compulsive disoredr, Body dysmorphic disoredr, Bipolar disorder, and self-harm.
