HYPOTHESIS ON THE "ANOREXIA NERVOSA"
In a blog like this could not miss the views of the author, concerning a problem that has spread throughout the Western world with amazing speed .
First of all I want to let you know my opinion on the term used to call it: ANOREXIA.
I think it's wrong.
Anorexia is derived from the Greek word that literally means' lack of appetite '( an , negative prefix' no 'or `missing', and Orexia , 'hunger'), and that no is true for anything in the case that concerns us.
To differentiate it from real-anorexia very common symptom in certain pathologies, from very simple as the common and various infectious conditions, and therefore of short duration (expired viral or bacterial disease, hunger returns slowly but surely to be the same that commonly felt before infection) to severe anorexia that occurs in many terminal diseases, and accompanies its carriers until the end of her days when she is not the cause of this last, to differentiate, said, is called to the one spontaneously, without any pathological explanation, usually in young adolescents: anorexia nervosa .
When you talk to a carrier of this type of "anorexia" (I mean the female because it is where are most of the cases) is to discover, with amazement, which is not that feed because they are not hungry, but because they simply refuse to eat .
The proper term would then aphagia (speaking also of Greek origin that means letting go of swallowing. In to , prefinancing negative, phage , 'swallow', 'swallow'). These digressions may
taken, at first glance like a simple itch idiomatic of the author, but I will try to convince him not at all well.
If we talk about "aphagia" , makes us understand the reasoning for pictures of other girls who literally can not be called so, because it is not 'no eat' because they refuse to swallow, but 'eat very little ', so that the name of Afag would be improper. To these must be named HIPOFÁGICAS or oligophagous ("hypo" is the Greek prefix meaning 'deficiency', and "oligo" also means 'low' 'Poor').
such differentiation is extremely important, because therapeutic measures to take to a "Afag" or face a "hipofágica" are very different. As different as the reasons why they have come to one or another state.
is believed, innocently and as an undisputed fact that the "blame" for the "anorexia" the images are around this time show the media: women's bodies beautiful and supremely refined.
"All teenagers want to look like them," he thought. "That is the universal cause of this disorder."
But that thought is absolutely wrong, in my view.
The Afag undergo terrible hardships as a result of serious psychiatric disorders feel a pathological fear grow, and yet believe discover (worse, so reckless dissemination of the subject have taught) not eating can be left to continue growing. feel a morbid fear to become adults.
Earlier we discussed the identity crisis of adolescents. The great drama that support by having to leave behind dependent children but comfortable to go toward a responsible adult that will necessarily require self-sufficiency, which is naturally irreversible process.
A huge amount of girls and some men (women are much more abundant than males in these problems simply because they quickly notice the bodily changes that take them away from children), have discovered that "to prolong childhood " to stop eating enough . The Peter Pan in all of us apparently can fulfill his dream: "I do not grow more.
If you know someone Afag have noticed that your body is equal to that of a girl, so, so she did not even menstruating (such as real girls).
The solution to this problem is terribly complex.
So far the results obtained with the almost torturous methods of self-help groups have been less frustrating than psychiatric treatment, and these slightly less disappointing that psychological therapies.
Despite all this help, the sufferer of aphagia arrive in large numbers, unfortunately, death by starvation.
The hiccups oligophagous or have a disorder with many best expectations. They simply want to look "to fashion a body." Have taught them otherwise than to highlight the natural teenage rebellion: do not eat to look like the skeletal models they see in magazines and on television.
Thankfully, some countries such as England and Spain, for example, have already legislated to curb the display of models with bodies so meager. It would be great if that attitude is universal.
If I were legislator would propose that every time you see the image of a model wearing any clothes, put your foot her age. Is commonly the make-up girls, including some that have not yet been developed, to have the look of young ladies of twenty to twenty five years. What you get is that adolescents in this age want to wear the body which are on the runways (-If they are my age, "believe," why I can not have a body like that of them-). But because of sexual fat they have developed what can be achieved only if both its food shortages and to reduce muscle mass, and then the fat female sex.
The solution to this problem is quite simple, in my opinion. A strong and vigorous attitude of parents or their caregivers to a problem that does not happen to be, with apologies to psychologists and psychiatrists for the simplicity of my arguments, rather than an angry teenage fad, could be solved in a short time .
course, the beginning is very difficult to differentiate a hipofágica a legitimate Afag , but fortunately, there is enough time to distinguish one from another.
If placing strict limits, such as prohibiting youth develop their activities if they turn eat properly, do not get anything, or worse, the picture worsens, being in the presence of Afag , so that attitudes to taken must be more drastic, severe and urgent: to lead a support group, for example.
I have known for many hipofágicas that changed his attitude to the strong attitude of their parents: - Do not want to eat?, Okay ... But you will not get this house until you do.
Almost invariably in these cases, after two or three days of faculty, the situation began to reverse. In somewhat more complex cases, after a brief psychological therapy solved the problem started.
also, unfortunately, I've heard from others in that no matter the time of confinement and deprivation, their attitude is unshakable. It is as if they had decided to commit suicide by starvation. This is where you have to take heroic attitudes.
typify the problem and hipofágicas Afag under the common denominator of Anorexic is that these attitudes are determined for some than for others, and as the vast majority are nothing but teenage rebel group the hipofágicas , they are subject, in excess, to the torturous but necessary treatments should be given to other Afag in order to save their lives.
I have heard and read many times that about twenty percent of anorexics die of their problem (these percentages were higher a few years ago and are declining as time goes on, thank goodness) . I am convinced that all who die are Afag, and the survivors are in their vast majority hipofágicas.
is by this that I consider it appropriate to change nouns that call.
If we change the way we express ourselves, forcibly change our therapeutic attitude (and I am convinced that change for the better ).
