There is nothing more vital, nothing so intimate, and so steeped in ancient and remote emotions like eating. The act of eating, therefore, contains in itself a meaning made of much stronger emotional symbols of the very meaning to satiate his hunger.

Describe 'NOW FAST L' anorexia, bulimia AND THE OBESITY '.

Anorexia along with Bulimia is one of the major eating disorders. What characterizes (AN) anorexia nervosa is the refusal of food by the person and the obsessive fear of gaining weight.
Anorexia typically develops in adolescence, the onset of anorexia usually occurs with the start of a diet, then instead of continuing in a more and more strict. In other cases, the onset may occur in coincidence of trauma, especially in the face of events that take on a meaning of separation: removal of a loved one, bereavement, breakup of a relationship, etc. One of the most important goals dell'anoressico is to control their image, control everything. In fact the mirror image: the anorexic person is never seen also quite lean when came close to death.
From my clinical experience shows that typically the patient often presents a story of life made by painful events and difficult to manage and control. One of the basic pillars on which rests the anorexic personality is just a desperate attempt to rationally control the events of his life. It seems to be clear that the patient is unable to exercise any kind of control over some painful events, and it is as if you were to create a sort of subtle and tacit compensation, this is a total control over food. Other features of the anorexic personality are: THE perfectionism that is expressed in the meticulous attention to detail with a strong focus on results, in particular those schools, and some sort of emotional detachment. These features are the elements of its outer structure, as opposed to its inner structure made of fragility and low self-esteem.

Anorexia
Treat anorexia, given its complexity it is manifold: psychological, nutritional, and pharmacological.
In recent years, great importance has been given to psychological intervention. The refusal of food, in the psychotherapeutic process is to be used as a tool to investigate and elaborate the emotional and relational conflict. The family invests an important role in the evolution and maintenance of the disorder. An intervention that takes into account the great family dynamics, in general good results port, even if the path is not at all linear.

Bulimia
What distinguishes bulimia is a power issue where an affected person swallows an excessive amount of food. The bulimic now wants to get rid of the food eaten to avoid gaining weight. Usually the bulimic resort to self-induced vomiting, or makes use but more often abuse of laxatives or, undergoing prolonged fasting. and strenuous exercise.
In bulimia, it establishes a food addiction like drugs and alcohol. Life goes on eating, in a feeling of total loss of control, and vomiting incessantly. Guilt and devastating and leaves the person in a vicious circle.
Often anorexia and bulimia alternate cyclically, the anorexic person who can no longer control hunger gives way to 'instinct and is punished with self-induced vomiting.

Obesity
Except for obesity 'due to metabolic dysfunction, may be associated with psychological factors, it is in fact defined psychogenic.
As in bulimia, psychogenic obesity also has front to an addiction, but with the different methods. Obesity food is carefully chosen and is taken up to weight increase disproportionately. It is unconsciously regarded as a magic solution to the difficulties of living, an anesthetic than the pain you have inside. The fat is a defensive barrier to protect themselves from their depression, and attachment to others. In other words fat as a way to keep your distance from others.

HOW TO TREAT DISORDERS FOOD
Eating disorders are a pathological event to communicate sufferings such as bereavement, abandonment, abuse and neglect often occurred at an early age
These disorders are not to be mistaken for appetite disorders. The psychotherapeutic intervention must be targeted and effective. It has to support drafting of genuine causes and conflicts for a long time submerged, and covered by a desperate hunger for love.
