Sorting fact from fiction….The truth about Anorexia.

Myth - Anorexia is a Lifestyle Choice
Reality - Emulating the behaviours of someone with Anorexia is not the same as having the disease.

Myth - Anorexia is just a Fad Diet
Reality - Anorexia Nervosa is a recognised Psychiatric Illness

Myth - Anorexia is caused by the media and fashion industry.
Reality - The Media and Fashion may be contributing factors but contributing factors are not the same as causal links. Research, although not yet definitive, has shown that Anorexia Nervosa is most likely a Neurobiological illness which also has a probable Genetic link as well. In patients with Anorexia Nervosa there appears to be an excess of the seretonin receptor 5HT1A, which is associated with anxiety, mood disturbances and impulse control and a decreased level of seretonin receptor 5HT which is associated with the regulation of mood and appetite. It is theorised that starvation acts as a form of self medication to try and balance out these irregularities in brain chemistry. Other research has identified a possible causal link between increased levels of the nuerorecptor Dopamine & associated obsessive compulsive behaviour and the identification of a Gene which is believed to predispose someone to Anorexia Nervosa.

Myth - Only women suffer from Anorexia
Reality - 1 in 10 sufferers is male

Myth - Anorexia only effects those in their teens or early 20’s
Reality - Children as young as seven and women as old as 70 have been diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa.

Myth - Anorexia Nervosa is a “white disease”
Reality - Anyone of any Race or Background can suffer from Anorexia.

Myth - Anorexia is a modern day phenomenon.
Reality - Anorexia Nervosa was first officially described in Medical Literature by Richard Morton in 1684. It was officially named “Anorexia Nervosa” by Sir Willian Gull in 1874. There are unofficial case histories dating back to Ancient Greek and Roman Times.

Myth - Anorexia will make me Beautiful.
Reality - The physical effects of Anorexia Nervosa include…hair loss, dry scaly skin, excessive hair growth on the body and/or face (Lanugo), poor circulation resulting in blueish extremeties and severe dental damage.

Myth - Anorexia is healthier than being Obese
Reality - Health risks of Anorexia include, Osteoporis, Muscle Atrophy, Seizures, Digestive Difficulties, Liver Failure, Kidney Failuire, Malnutrition, Anaemia, Low Blood Pressure, Cardiac Arrhythmia, Lowered Immune Response and Death, commonly from…Suicide, Heart Failure or Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Stomach Rupture.

Causes Of OCD

The fact that OCD patients respond well to specific medications suggests the disorder has a neurobiological basis. For that reason, OCD is no longer attributed to attitudes a patient learned in childhood-for example, an inordinate emphasis on cleanliness, or a belief that certain thoughts are dangerous or unacceptable. Instead, the search for causes now focuses on the interaction of neurobiological factors and environmental influences. It is believed that people who develop OCD have a biological predisposition to react strongly to stress, that this reaction takes the form of intrusive, distressing thoughts, and that these thoughts lead to more anxiety and stress, eventually creating a vicious circle the person cannot escape without help.

Brain imaging studies using a technique called positron emission tomography (PET) have compared people with and without OCD. Several groups of investigators have obtained findings from PET scans suggesting that OCD patients have patterns of brain activity that differ from those of people without mental illness or with some other mental illness. Brain imaging studies of OCD showing abnormal neuro-chemical activity in regions known to play a role in certain neurological disorders suggest that these areas may be crucial in the origins of OCD. In addition, PET scans show that in patients with OCD, both behavioral therapy and medication produce changes in the caudate nucleus, a part of the brain. This is graphic evidence that both psychotherapy and medication affect the brain.

Persons with OCD use different brain circuitry in performing a cognitive task than people without the disorder.

Recent preliminary studies of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging showed that the subjects with obsessive-compulsive disorder had significantly less white matter than did normal control subjects, suggesting a widely distributed brain abnormality in OCD. Understanding the significance of this finding will be further explored by functional neuroimaging and neuropsychological studies.

Symptoms of OCD are seen in association with some other neurological disorders. There is an increased rate of OCD in people with Tourette’s syndrome, an illness characterized by involuntary movements and vocalizations. Investigators are currently studying the hypothesis that a genetic relationship exists between OCD and the tic disorders.

Other illnesses that may be linked to OCD are trichotillomania (the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, eyebrows or other body hair), body dysmorphic disorder (excessive preoccupation with imaginary or exaggerated defects in appearance), and hypochondriasis (the fear of having–despite medical evaluation and reassurance–a serious disease).

Genetic studies of OCD and other related conditions may enable scientists to pinpoint the molecular basis of these disorders.

Other theories about the causes of OCD focus on the interaction between behavior and the environment and on beliefs and attitudes, as well as how information is processed. These behavioral and cognitive theories are not incompatible with biological explanations.
