Clinical Assessment and Treatment of Eating Disorders

An eating disorder refers to a type of mental disorder characterized by abnormal eating habits that have a negative impact on a person's mental or physical health. People suffering from eating disorders may exhibit a wide range of symptoms, including food binges, severe dietary restriction and purging actions such as over exercising or vomiting. There are various types of eating disorders, such as bulimia nervosa, pica, avoidant or restrictive food intake disorder, anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder and rumination disorder. The risk factors associated with eating disorders include family history, psychological health, extracurricular activities, aging, excessive dieting and life transitions. Eating disorders can be diagnosed through physical and psychological assessments. The treatment plans of eating disorders are unique to each individual and include a combination of therapies. The treatment varies according to the disorder, which includes limiting excess exercising, counseling, reducing efforts to eliminate food, and dietary advice. This book seeks to provide a fair idea about eating disorders and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances in their clinical management. It will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
