KidsHealth Teens Your Mind Mental Health Hayley used to love going to the food court in the mall with her friends, but now just the thought of it fills her with dread. Besides, she doesn't really even have time to hang with her friends anymore since she's upped her exercise schedule to include even more running and aerobics. She doesn't feel like herself lately - she's having a hard time concentrating in school and she's always so tired. She's really thin, too - so how come every time Hayley passes a mirror, she sees an overweight girl staring back at her? If you know someone in your school who is like Hayley - or if you recognize yourself in her - you're not alone. Hayley has an eating disorder, a condition that occurs when a person tries to become thin in an unhealthy way. Eating disorders are very common in America - between 5 and 10 million people have them. In fact, it's thought that one in 10 college-age girls has some type of eating disorder. But eating disorders don't strike only girls in college; many girls in high school and even junior high (or middle school) have them, too. It's estimated that 1% of American teens has an eating disorder. That means if your class has 400 students, probably about four of them have this condition. Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa The two most common types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa , more commonly known as anorexia and bulimia.

103. Eating Disorders eating disorders that are increasing among teens and kids, especially among young women. Read on to understand can affect your child. http://kidshealth.org/parent/emotions/feelings/eating_disorders.html

KidsHealth Parents Recently, you've noticed your 15-year-old daughter just picking at her food. Your son jokes about her going on another diet, and her grandmother says, "You could use some meat on your bones." She looks down and screams that she ate a big lunch at school and is not hungry. When she gets up suddenly to leave, her baggy clothes, although stylish, look more oversized than usual. For the sixth night in a row, you hear vigorous jumping in her room, and think that she's been practicing her dance routine a lot lately. Although you want to just pass it off as a stage of adolescence , you are worried. She's been depressed for a while, and her weight concerns you. But when you try to talk to her about it, you cannot communicate. "You're too thin," you say, and she says, "I'm too fat." You're right to be concerned - according to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are eating disorders that are increasing among teens and kids, especially among young women.

PLEASE NOTE: (As of December 7/03) I am doing some re-designing of this website. I have re-designed the most main pages. Please be patient as some pages are down and new ones aren't up yet. Sure hope you will check back if what you were looking for wasn't available. Web Site Dedication This web site is dedicated to the liver of life, the seeker of more, and to all of you who, like I, were wounded, have incurred many heart-wrenching losses, endured much pain and still search for a better, happier and more peaceful way. It is there for the finding. It must first be found from deep within yourself. Each one of us will identify a different, individual "happier" or more "peaceful". To look for something that we might think others have or "everyone else" has is to fool ourselves into suffering needlessly based upon cognitively distorted and unworthy comparisons. All you have to do, is follow your path on your journey in your life. For your way, is the right way for you. True to the reality of this web site, "Build it and they will come." As I continue to be blessed and humbled in my own life by my own capacity to heal, to learn, change and continue to grow more authentically me, day by day, it is an honour

118. Helen Harte House A halfway house dedicated to women for the treatment of alcoholism, drug abuse, eating disorders, and depression. In Boynton Beach, FL. http://www.helenhartehouse.net/pages/1/

The Helen Harte House is a recovery home for women located in Boynton Beach, Florida. Our beautiful, comfortable houses are just a bike's ride from the beach, shopping areas and restaurants and one mile from the local hospital. The decision to enter a recovery home is a difficult and confusing one. Dependency on alcohol and drugs is a life crisis for those that are addicted as well as family and friends. We support out women in taking that first step. We applaud their courage! As you know, chemical addiction is a progressive disease that will lead to mental and physical deterioration, and death. There is no cure, however, it is treatable. Our doors are also open to women suffering from other diseases such as eating disorders, depression, bi-polar illnes, etc. as long as they are under the care of a physician or therapist. As a "female only" focused house, we are sensitive to the specific needs of women and we provide the much needed resources to help these women with their emotional and social issues, as well as focusing on the issues surrounding their families and friends. As the saying goes, "getting sober is easy - staying sober is the hard part" and the first year of recovery is the most difficult. Research shows that long-term treatment is the best way to maximize any recovery effort and we feel very privileged to provide you with that much needed extended care.

119. University Counseling Service s of the various eating disorders.......eating disorders. eating disorders are, unfortunately, very common today. The Basic Facts http://www.uiowa.edu/~ucs/eatdis.html

Eating Disorders Eating disorders are, unfortunately, very common today. Most of us want to have healthy, well-functioning, and attractive bodies. However, our celebrity-smitten society places undue emphasis on the attractiveness part, and then tells us that to be attractive, we must be thin. Our normal desire to maintain a healthy body weight can become abnormal when we are constantly under peer and societal pressure to attain and maintain a weight and shape that is not natural for us. Eating disorders include extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding weight and food issues, and are experienced by both women and men. They include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. All are serious emotional and physical problems that can have life-threatening consequences. Eating Disorders can occur at any age, but they most commonly begin during the teen years. Going away to college can almost be defined as a risk factor for developing an eating disorder in a young person who feels uncomfortable about his/her body and is not sure how s/he is going to 'fit in' and make new friends on campus. Are you concerned about your eating or food-related habits, or those of a friend? Most of us know something about eating disorders, but our information is often incomplete and inaccurate. The following will provide basic facts about eating disorders, what you can, and

Or, in the often quoted words of Karen Pittman "problem free is not fully prepared." Additionally, evaluations of some positive youth development programs are showing that they can reduce problem behaviors. Volume 11(2) focuses on the topic of positive youth development and its real-world applications. Read the full abstract here! Stay informed with our e-mail updates!
