Consequences of Eating Disorders. Consequences of Eating Disorders According to the Eating Disorder Referral and Information Center: Eating disorders profoundly impact an individual's quality of life.
Self-image, relationships, physical well-being and day to day living are often adversely affected. Eating disorders are also often associated with mood disorders, anxiety disorders and personality disorders. Bullimia nervosa may be particularly associated with substance abuse problems. Medical issues: The process of starvation associated with Anorexia Nervosa can affect most organ systems. Self-induced vomiting can lead to swelling of salivary glands, electrolyte and mineral disturbances, and enamel erosion in teeth. Physical Dangers: Sometimes those suffering with Anorexia and Bulimia do not appear underweight — some may be of "average" weight, some may be slightly overweight, variations can be anywhere from extremely underweight to extremely overweight. Symptoms: Amennorrhea — loss of menstrual cycle. Anorexia nervosa. Anorexia nervosa is often coupled with a distorted self image[3][4] which may be maintained by various cognitive biases[5] that alter how the affected individual evaluates and thinks about their body, food, and eating.[6] People with anorexia nervosa often view themselves as overweight or "big" even when they are already underweight.[7] Anorexia nervosa most often has its onset in adolescence and is more prevalent among adolescent females than adolescent males.[8] While the majority of people with anorexia nervosa continue to feel hunger, they deny themselves all but very small quantities of food.[6] The average caloric intake of individuals with anorexia nervosa varies drastically depending both on whether the individual engages in binging and/or purging behavior, and if the individual has engaged in that behavior in the day in question.[9] Extreme cases of complete self-starvation are known.
