I Can’t Stop Compulsive Overeating

Friday, December 19th, 2008

Many individuals suffer from Compulsive Overeating Disorder and they are not aware that help is available. This eating disorder is a learned behavior traced back to early childhood. The individual learned to develop dysfunctional eating habits - possibly from watching a role model or as an instinctive response to a trauma; this eating disorder leads to obesity which causes shame, guilt and embarrassment, which, in turn, continues the cycle of addiction. When an individual is overweight he or she can’t hide the problem - they wear it for everyone to see. Typically, depression and anxiety appear early on and then isolation begins.

Some co-morbidities associated with Compulsive Overeating Disorder are Diabetes, Hypertension, High Cholesterol, Heart conditions, Fatigue, Low Self-Esteem, Depression, Anxiety to name a few. Even though the physical signs are obvious, the scale tells the person the bad news every time he or she steps on the scale; the cycle of addiction perpetuates the disorder. Compulsive Overeaters spend years watching the scale go up and down. Sadly, every time they experience weight loss it is only short lived. The individual breaks the rigid diet they are on and “cheats” or goes off the diet and the result is more weight gain than when they initially started.

People who are close to the Compulsive Overeater often give unsolicited advice in the misguided belief they are being supportive. A Compulsive Overeater already feels hopeless and unworthy. The help from “friends”, no matter how well intentioned, reinforces what they believe to be true “they can’t stop”, so why try? Inpatient treatment for a Compulsive Overeater is a valid course of treatment. Learning new coping skills and ways of dealing with normal day stressors is essential for success! The foundation to a new way of life is through a supportive dual diagnosis inpatient treatment program where eating disorders are addressed.

When standing in line at the local grocery store look to the right and see the assorted array of candy bars and gum loaded with sugar. Then look to the left and the assorted magazine’s and tabloid newspaper’s telling us about the latest actress or model with an eating disorder. All day long messages are sent out through all forms of media telling us about our health, diet, exercise, nutrition, medications available to melt fat, or to not crave food any more.

Bulimia and the Brain

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Bulimia and the brain was the topic of a report released in January 2008 by General Psychiatry. The report focused on female patients with bulimia nervosa and their lack of impulse control compared to women without an eating disorder. The use of MRI brain scan showed distinct behavioral differences when faced with decisions about voluntary behavior.

Bulimia nervosa plagues adolescent females and continues into adulthood. Most professionals agree that binge eating is triggered by a sense of loss of control. The act of binge eating and then subsequent voiding of food gives the sufferer a feeling of regaining that control.

During testing the MRI was able to observe the function of electrical currents that travel throughout nerve cells in the brain. The particular circuitry studied, controlled an individual’s voluntary behavior. The testing forced the individual to make decisions that went contrary to the subject’s normal thinking process. Testing was conducted with 20 women suffering with bulimia and 20 women with normal eating habits.

Test results showed the women that suffered with bulimia responded quicker and made more errors than the control group. The bulimic women when faced with conflicted reasoning showed less activity in the brain circuitry controlling voluntary behavior.

Conclusions reached during testing showed the differences in the way the brain circuits moved and how they performed. The brain activity of the women with bulimia nervosa does not seem to activate appropriately; this would imply a lack of impulse control and also an inability to make the right decision when faced with binge eating behavior.
