OBESITY

OVERVIEW

Many people and even doctors believe that the issue of obesity and weight loss belongs to the field of nutritionists. There is no doubt that nutritionists are highly trained in this area and have valuable information and methods regarding obesity and weight loss diets. There are also a percentage of people who consider exercise as a solution to obesity. However, many people do not eat because they are low in calories and do not consider the dangers of obesity. Rather, they are aware and tend to follow a nutritionist diet, but they cannot. In fact, what a psychologist and a psychiatrist do is to remove the barriers and mental compulsions about eating. There exist some people who eat to relax.

Some fill their gaps by eating. Some people think in their minds, despite being fit and even thin, that they are obese and are drawn to excessive weight loss. Eating is not just about calories. In some cases, it seems to be coercion. Like an addict who consumes heroin and an obsessive person who keeps washing dozens of times while both hate heroin and useless washing. However, a compulsory part is involved. There are commands to eat and not to eat that are not within our knowledge. 

If you have not reached your ideal weight with the usual methods of diet and exercise yet and you have experienced unsuccessful attempts to achieve your goal, it is time for you to consider examining the psychological causes of eating or not eating. Dr. Afshari is there for you and at your service with the experience of numerous clients and personal experiences.

What is BULIMIA NERVOSA?

Bulimia nervosa disorders apply to periods of overeating. Physical discomfort (abdominal pain or nausea, for instance) causes binge eating to end, and it is too often that the person experiences feelings of guilt, depression, or hatred after binge eating is over. Unlike patients with anorexia nervosa, these patients are usually of normal weight.

Symptoms of bulimia nervosa

 

  • Bulimia nervosa is more common than anorexia nervosa.
  • It is more frequent in females rather than men. 
  • Although this disorder is demonstrated in young women with normal weight, sometimes patients have a history of obesity.
  • The prevalence of bulimia nervosa is higher among black Americans compared to among whites.
