What are eating disorders?
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that are characterized by constant disturbances in eating behaviors, and connections with food, weight, and body image. These disorders involve extreme emotions and non healthy behaviors that go beyond normal concerns about food or weight, leading to significant physical, emotional, and social harm.
Factors that contribute to it
Perfectionism
Traumas
Influencers
Bullying
A tendency towards perfectionism can lead to rigid standards about body shape and weight, increasing the risk of restrictive/excessive eating.
Experiences of trauma, abuse, or significant life stressors can trigger unhealthy eating behaviors.
Seeing influencers in social media with stereotypical "perfect" body may lead people to start being insecure about their body.
Fatphobic comments/insults, or even physical abuse can result in excessive eating or exercise.
Media representation of eating disorders
Media Representation of Eating Disorders
The media plays a powerful role in shaping public vision of eating disorders, that influences how these conditions are understood. Media coverage can raise awareness, and can also perpetuate harmful stereotypes. This topic explores how eating disorders are represented in various media forms, and their impact on audiences.
Types of eating disorders
Builimia nervosa
Repeated episodes of binge eating(consuming large amounts of food in a short time). Compensatory behaviour to prevent weight gain, such as vomiting excessive exercise,or laxative use.
Anorexia nervosa
Extreme restrictions of food intake. Intense fear of gaining weight. Distorted body image( seeing oneself overweight even when underweight).
