 EA (EATING DISORDER)

"trastron de la conducta alimentaria"

Eating disorders are a group of mental disorders characterised by alterations in eating habits. This results in a change in weight or figure.

They mostly affect children, young women and, increasingly, adults. They are caused by several factors considered to be risk factors that may be present in healthy people or in people with other diseases. They have serious nutritional, biological, psychological and social consequences.

Els trastorns de la conducta alimentària són un grup de trastorns mentals que es caracteritzen per alteracions en els hàbits alimentaris. Això provoca un canvi en el pes o la figura.

Afecten, majoritàriament, nens, nenes, dones joves i, cada vegada més, els adults. Es produeixen per diversos factors considerats de risc que poden estar presents en persones sanes o en persones que presenten altres malalties. Tenen greus conseqüències nutricionals, biològiques, psicològiques i socials.

Els TCA més freqüents solen ser:





TREATMENT:
It is common for people suffering from an ED to have no awareness of illness. This means that they normalise many abnormal behaviours and consequently reject treatment. That is why it is very important to understand that the first phase of treatment is to work on this awareness of the disorder and the motivation to want to leave, because the collaboration and attitude of the person in the treatment is key. Once the person has been made aware that they are suffering from an illness, it is important to turn to professional help such as day centres specialised in eating disorders.

TRACTAMENT:
És freqüent que les persones que pateixen un TCA no tinguin consciència de malaltia. Això vol dir que normalitzen moltes conductes anòmales i en conseqüència rebutgen el tractament. Per això és molt important entendre que la primera fase del tractament és treballar aquesta consciència del trastorn i la motivació per voler sortir perquè la col·laboració i l'actitud de la persona en el tractament és clau. Quan s'hagi conscienciat la persona que està patint una malaltia, és important recórrer a ajuda professional com a centres de dia especialitzats en trastorns de la conducta alimentària.

A slice of cake, a tasting menu, or a lavish banquet are often the elements that provoke this phrase, as if eating were a crime and the next day's hunger were a punishment. "There's nothing to compensate for," Azahara Nieto concludes. "In the end, food is neither a reward nor a punishment. So if I ate more today, I can continue with my life, but above all because that generates excessive and restrictive behaviors and generally ends up generating guilt about food." When we subject our body to long periods of hunger, other factors are added to the equation: from thinking about food obsessively to dysmenorrhea (loss of menstruation). Una llesca de pastís, un menú degustació o un banquet fastuós són sovint els elements que provoquen aquesta frase, com si menjar fos un delicte i la gana de l...
