Eating Disorders (Child)

Anorexia Nervosa and Blumia Nervosa are common eating disorders. Anorexia Nervosa is a disorder characterized by the fear of becoming overweight, even though the person's weight is significantly below the expected body weight for their age and height. The person may restrict the amount of eating and develop behaviors that prevent weight gain, such as excessive exercise, vomiting, or drug use. It usually begins in adolescence or young adulthood and is more common in women than men. In severe cases, hospitalization and internal consultations may be required. Psychotherapy is at the forefront in the treatment of the disorder, and psychiatric medications can be used in addition to psychotherapy.

Compensatory behaviors include vomiting, excessive exercise, etc. may take place. Extreme weakness is not observed. Impulsive personality traits and risky behaviors may accompany the picture. Psychotherapy may be useful in treating the disorder.
