Eating Disorder Case Study: Chhaya

Chaya is a senior at high school and his self-identification problem starts with a child with mixed ethnic background. She accused her parents of committing their constant fighting (and the threat of divorce) in their actions, and this time they are trying to become a perfect girl. So Chaya invested in her research, and she did not dispute, but she repeatedly set her goal. Social relations and leisure activities were thrown aside, as Chaya feels guilty when being satisfied with non-target-oriented activities.

There is evidence of a role in stressful multiple life events (SE) in the pathogenesis of eating disorders, but so far there have been few studies investigating the problem of bulimia nervosa (BED). The purpose of this study was to investigate SE before BED onset. Based on a retrospective interview, 107 BED patients and 107 Bulky Bulimia (BN) patients were compared and matched for the disease period. Compared to BN patients, BED patients experience more traumatic events, and more generally three types of events, ie, death, family withdrawal and accidents, within 6 months before onset. The presence of SE before onset showed a dose-response relationship with psychopathological severity at the time of introduction treatment. Studies on SE in BED patients may be important to better understand the etiology of the disease and to provide appropriate treatment.

Comparison of obesity in obese and nonobese individuals: a delicate boundary between hyperphagia and unresolved bulimia

In this study, we investigated events occurring before the onset of eating disorders of bulimia nervosa (BED). In case-control design, 162 black-and-white women recruited women without BED and mental illness, 107 people recruited BED and current women with mental illness from the community to the New England Women Health Program. Retrospective assessment of life events in the year before the onset of eating disorders was done through panel-based interviews. BED women reported significantly more life events occurred during the same year of life than the life events of nonpsychic and mentally ill patients during the year before eating disorders. There is no evidence of racially specific exposure to past life events
