Q

What is equfinality?

A
  1. suggests that many different factors or developmental pathways contribute towards a disorder, eg. harsh parenting, ambivalent attachment

basically early experiences & risk factors (predictors) can lead to the SAME/SIMILAR outcome or disorder

Q

increase likelihood for depression, low self-esteem, anxiety

43
Q

What’s the definition of an ED?

A

ED is persistent disturbance of eating or eating related behaviour that results in the altered consumption or absolution of food and impairs physical health and psychosocial functioning

44
Q

Prevalence of eating disorders?

A

Lifetime prevalence - 9%, 1/7 have disordered eating

AN has 10-20% of mortality rate
10th leading cause in non fatal disease burden for females aged 15-44

Only ¼ with an ED seek treatment

45
Q

What demographic factors increase risk of EDs?

A
  1. higher for women, LP = 15% in women, 63% ED are female,
  2. LGBTQIIA+ have higher risk and prevalence of EDs, 23% of transgender have either had or have an ED

46
Q

What are the 3 diagnostic criteria for anorexia?

A

A. Restriction of energy intake to requirements - leading to significantly low body weight in context of one’s age sex , health and development, less than minimally normal for adults and minimally expected for child/adolescents, BMI<18.5

B. Intense fear of gaining weight or of becoming fact, or persistent behaviour that interferes with weight gain, even though a significantly low weight

C Disturbance in the way in which one’s body weight or shape in experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-evaluation or persistent lack of recognition of the seriousness of the current low body weight

47
Q

What are the 2 subtypes of anorexia nervosa?

A

Restricting type –
Weight loss is achieved primarily by dieting, fasting and/or excessive exercise, NO binging/purging

Binge-Eating / Purging type –
repetitive episodes of binge eating AND/OR purging behaviours over 3 months

prolonged restriction often set off the binge eating and purging cycle

48
Q

Why are eating disorders harder to treat than other disorders?

A

EDs are ego-syntonic disorders
which means that the self-image of the person (wanting to be thinner) and aspirations is actually in line with their symptoms and behaviours, they often have less inclination to stop or seek help

(differs from ego-dystonic disorders with other disorders like anxiety, where the anxious individual does wants to get rid of their symptoms)

HARDER TO TREAT since the symptoms are already in line with what the individual wants / reduces help-seeking

49
Q

Anorexia Nervosa prevalence rate?

A

LP = 0.9%, females 0.3-1.5%, males 0.1-0.5%,

10 : 1 RATIO = females to males

Age of onset = 14-18 but is decreasing in younger generations

50
Q

Whats 3 potential reasons for such low male ED rates?

A

1) underreporting

2) ED stigma for men that doesn’t exist for women

3) diagnostic criteria being more closely aligned with female restricting behaviours towards thinness rather than male restricting behaviours towards slimness and muscular strength

51
Q

What’s the comorbidity of AN with BN and other disorders?

A

High comorbidity with BN = 25%

60% with other psychiatric disorders

52
Q

What are the health implications of anorexia?

A

MILD
Anaemia iron deficiency
Low metabolic rate
fluid/electrolyte imbalance
Dehydration
Lanugo - growth of fine hair layer
Compromised immune system
Hair falls out
Constant feeling of being cold
Gastrointestinal problems

BAD
Disturbance or cessation of menstruation
Increased risk of fertility issues in both genders
Osteoporosis - fragile bones
Heart problems
death/kidney failure
Yellowing of skin

53
Q

What’s the mortality rate and treatment/relapse rate of anorexia nervosa?

A

Anorexia mortality rate ranges from 5-20% - dying from this disorder
25% of recovered individuals relapse after treatment, 20% remain chronically ill
60% of deaths are from sudden cardiac arrest, organ failure or suicide
Anorexia patients have a 31x risk of dying by suicide
