Special Issues of Eating Disorders
According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) there are certain life events that lead individuals to develop unsavory eating habits. These range from one-time events to ongoing stressors, both causing various levels of disorder for the individual. Here are some of the most common special issues, which may be inclusive of Community Health Drug Choice Eating Disorder Coverage:
- Orthorexia nervosa
- Diabulimia
Orthorexia nervosa involves obsession with eating healthy foods. Sufferers of this disorder are focused on eating only healthy foods in conjunction with calorie restriction. They continue to decrease the number of calories they eat in hopes of improving their self-esteem, which ends up taking an emotional and physical toil on the individual. Individuals with diabulimia have diabetes, and they use their insulin levels to regulate their weight loss. By manipulating their insulin, they are risking their general health, which can lead to diabetic coma or death. While orthorexia and diabulimia are not classified as official disorders they exist and create very real and deadly consequences for their sufferers.
