Lucile Packard Children's Hospital observed National Eating Disorders Week in February 2012 with a panel discussion of the latest research into how the brain is affected by eating disorders. In this video, the internationally-recognized experts from Packard Children's Comprehensive Eating Disorders Program discuss how new findings have increased our understanding of the impact eating disorders have on the brain and the resulting advances in the treatment of eating disorders in children and adolescents.

I had bulimia from when I was 16 until I was 54. Never give up much of the time I thought I’d have it forever. I also didn’t want to get better in case I got fat. I feel much healthy now no sores round my mouth, stomach pains, feeling sick, ruptured blood vessels in my eyes to mention a few. Had to get all my teeth crowned and I’ve broken a foot and wrist in the last 2 years as a result of bulimia. Also having to work on building up muscle as they’d wasted too. I can go out for meals now to without getting the sweats wondering how soon I could get home to vomit or leaving the table to vomit. I still have time time to enjoy eating with my family luckily

I have to laugh when I hear people(who are meant to be experts)say things like only people who've had an eating disorder a short period of time can recover. They're basically saying if you've had the condition for 10, 20, 30 or more years, youre screwed. But this is absolute nonsense. Believe me no matter what age you are or how long you've had the eating disorder, you can 100% recover. I know this because I've seen it personally, in many cases. So never give up and keep getting up every time you're knocked down. The only way you wont make it is if you stop trying.

They continue to look at eating visas adolescent and rarely address the risks a reality of a HUGE population of people over35. Idiotic observations which part of the brain with younger, not yet fully developed brains......and not so insightful in older people, Neurological studies must be inclusive of lifetimes of eating disorders and the consequences later in life.

It's really a slap in the face to sufferers when "experts" continue to define eating disorders as only anorexic or bulimic. There are many other disorders, such as binge eating, pica, and ednos. Also, most eating disordered people never end up underweight. Many anorexics do, but not all. There are anorectics who started it when they were overweight or just managed to get help before becoming too thin. Diagnosis requires a lot of weight loss but the final number may not be too low. Most bulimics never get underweight. Defining eating disorders as only self-starving is missing 75% of the disorders out there.

Don’t these people understand it’s not about food, eating, weight numbers….It’s about a severe lack of experiencing CONTROL and making choices, usually the parents are too controlling or too crazy Conservitive. There’s denial of the child’s emotional needs or even basic personality vibe. Sometimes a parent can be a narcissist, or a crazy control fear mongers, who don’t understand that they don’t own another persons body.

Eating disorders are about relationships. Eating disorders develop over time due to individual and contextual factors. Many flexible thinkers and great problem solvers can develop an eating disorder.

This information is generally interesting for people who are underweight. Among other things, it is interesting for underweight people with a diagnosis of ADD, which may actually be a misdiagnosis, because the concentration difficulties are caused by the underweight. Methylphenidate could cause the underweight to become even worse. Anyway, thank you very much for this valuable information.

My mom had anorexia, it just took over when she was about 9 years old. Those people in concentration camps had more heft than my mom. A couple of bites and she was full. I sincerely believe it is a natural thing after a person is starved for awhile--it is a hormonal dysfunction in my opinion. She was never hungry, I think only a handful of times was she ever really hungry. Cooking was difficult for her. She hated being around food that much and smells. She lived a long life and dressed like a million bucks. Being a little over 30 lbs underweight, she was always complimented and envied interestingly enough.

I have long term anorexia spanning decades and have a very healthy robust apatite . Your mom may have bin sincere but on the other hand it sounds like she got a lot of positive reinforcement for maintaining her figure . I've watched a lot of video's and read a lot of articles on the topic over the years and am convinced that the majority anorexics who make up excuses about not being hungry , having a stomach ache , allergies etc. are lying .

@1:17 despite Lock’s soft-spoken “cuteness” regarding adolescence, the real mathematical question should be this: they started their program circa 1979 or earlier- how many of those then-young pts are “cured?” If they aren’t, you can calculate the number of now adult and senior anorexics and bulimics out there still needing treatment. That’s what’s truly cute. The kids are peripheral to his life’s work (himself). I can imagine another 40 years passing and not much happening if he stays in charge.

I don't know if those two are connected, but my little daughter, aged 14, after a year of anorexia (we weren't able to see that), she had her first episode of demyelination. Maybe the brain cells were weakened, or the stress from anorexia caused that (although experts say that at some point, stress is a completely unknown word for the brain, if the person suffers from anorexia). Anyone can answer that?

@r.girardi6253 Жыл бұрын

Just from personal perspective, not a medical professional, starvation or malnutrition effects the brain for certain, and likely every part of the body. Each person is different, making it more troubling. I lived much longer than I thought I would and the consequences are expensive and painful. However, none of the risks are a deterrent for the person with the illness. I wound up having a stroke in my sleep. I couldn't believe it when I was finally told what was going on in hospital. I really thought that was it, that I would stop all this. I still thought the same thoughts in hospital, how I was just laying there, not burning calories, trying to order low calorie food. I recovered really well from that, came home and told myself exercise was only to gain strength. But a few years later & have been over exercising and calorie restricting obsessively.

for some reason people have no problem seeing overreating as an addiction but for some reason are extremely reluctant to classify anorexia or bulimia as such. all too often they seem to want to just take the feminist stance that it's simply the result of "the patriarchy" and pressure on females to look good for males but i think that greatly hinders any method of treating those disorders. i also know it's not at all uncommon that people (especially women) recovering from an addiction (say drugs or alcohol) will suddenly develop an eating disorder whereas they never had one before. we all know people in recovery frequently get fat or start smoking but the subject of "addiction replacement" shall we say is never applied to anorexia or bulimia, at least not that i ever hear. anger can also be an addiction imo the adrenaline based buzz one gets from being angry.
