Adolescence is a period marked by several biopsychosocial changes, such as the body. When this change does not correspond to the socially established standard of beauty, adolescents need to deal with frustrations and prejudices, which can lead them to become ill. This research is a case study of an adolescent who suffered from Bulimia Nervosa. In this article we will present the results of psychodramatic psychotherapy, especially the therapeutic work of the wounded inner child and the affective logic of conduct that favored the improvement of her eating disorder. We will also analyze how the body carries the socio-cultural scenes, in the search for affections in relationships. By reliving these scenes, in surplus reality, the patient can re-signify experiences of suffering that have released spontaneity-creativity and develop less suffered vincular modalities.

Background: Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and Bulimia Nervosa (BN) are diseases characterized by an eating disorder, distorted weight regulation and distorted perception of one’s body. In the period of puberty adolescents are becoming increasingly vulnerable to eating disorders. Objective: The target of this study was to examine the prevalence of possible eating disorder (bulimia nervosa) and depression in the period of puberty. Methods: The study group included 233 students from secondary schools, of whom 128 were boys and 105 girls, with an average mean age of 14 years. The Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) and Children’s Depression Inventory (CDI) were applied to the entire study population. Also we calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI); a parameter defines as the ratio of human body weight and height. Results: According to the EAT, 73 (32%) students had a EAT score indicating a possible diagnosis of bulimia nervosa. The authors observed statistically significant increased frequency of depressive thoughts in the study group. 188 (81%) students had emotional symptoms of depression Correlation results indicated that depressed mood scores positively correlated with bulimia scores. Conclusions: We observed high prevalence of bulimia nervosa and depression in the period of puberty.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.14(4) 2015 p.327-330

Chapter 8 provides an overview of the theoretical and empirical bases of IPT for the treatment of eating disorders, which can include anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED). Through the presentation of an in-depth case study of the treatment of an individual with binge eating disorder (BED), the reader is introduced to the use of IPT in the treatment of eating disorders in clinical practice.

Backgroud: The World Health Organization (WHO) explained that the number of Hyperemesis Gravidarum cases reached 12.5% of the total number of pregnancies in the world and the results of the Demographic Survey conducted in 2007, stated that 26% of women with live births experienced complications. The results of the observations conducted at the Midwife Supriyati Clinic found that pregnant women with hyperemesis gravidarum, with a comparison of 10 pregnant women who examined their contents there were about 4 pregnant women who complained of excessive nausea and vomiting. Objective: to determine the hyperemesis Gravidarum of pregnant mother in clinic. Methods: This study used Qualitative research methods by using a case study approach (Case Study.) Result: The description of excessive nausea of vomiting in women with Hipermemsis Gravidarum is continuous nausea and vomiting more than 10 times in one day, no appetite or vomiting when fed, the body feels weak, blood pressure decreases until the body weight decreases and interferes with daily activities days The factors that influence the occurrence of Hyperemesis Gravidarum are Hormonal, Diet, Unwanted Pregnancy, and psychology, primigravida does not affect the occurrence of Hyperemesis Gravidarum. Conclusion: Mothers who experience Hyperemesis Gravidarum feel nausea vomiting continuously more than 10 times in one day, no appetite or vomiting when fed, the body feels weak, blood pressure decreases until the weight decreases and interferes with daily activities, it is because there are several factors, namely, hormonal actors, diet, unwanted pregnancy, and psychology.

Background: From the evidence of failed injection-based growth factor therapies, it has been proposed that a naturally triggered uninterrupted blood circulation of the growth factors would be superior. Objective: We seek to stimulate discussions and more research about the possibility of using the already available growth factors found in the prostate gland and endometrium by starting a novel educable physiology, known as biological transformations controlled by the mind. Methods: We summarized the stretch-gated ion channel mechanism of the cell membrane, and offer several practical methods that can be applied by anyone, in order to stimulate and enhance the blood circulation of the growth factors from the seminal fluid to sites throughout the body. This details the practical application of our earlier published studies about biological transformations. Results: A previously reported single-patient case study has been extended, adding more from his personal experiences continually improving this novel physiological training and extending the ideas from our earlier findings in detail. Conclusion: The biological transformation findings demonstrate the need additional research to establish the benefits of these natural therapies to repair and rejuvenate tissues affected by various chronic diseases or aging processes.

This chapter addresses the pharmacotherapy of the eating disorders (EDs). Many persons with EDs receive pharmacotherapy, but pharmacotherapy research for EDs has lagged behind that for other major mental disorders. This chapter first provides a brief rationale for using medications in the treatment of EDs. It then reviews the data supporting the effectiveness of specific medications or medication classes in treating patients with anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED), and other potentially important EDs, such as night eating syndrome (NES). It concludes by summarizing these data and suggesting future areas for research in the pharmacotherapy of EDs.

The epidemiology of eating disorders holds important clues for understanding factors that may contribute to their etiology. In addition, epidemiological findings speak to the public health significance of these deleterious syndromes. Information on course and outcome are important for clinicians to understand the prognosis associated with different disorders of eating and for treatment planning. This chapter reviews information on the epidemiology and course of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and two forms of eating disorder not otherwise specified, binge eating disorder and purging disorder.
