Bulimia gets some respect
I have been really glad to see a lot more attention to bulimia nervosa lately in the research world:
- Bulimia study at Stanford
- Bulimia Tied to Brain Differences about this "Deficient Activity in the Neural Systems That Mediate Self-regulatory Control in Bulimia Nervosa"
- "Bulimia may be brain_disorder says psychiatrist" (Time to leave out the "may")
- "New research shows neurochemical differences in bulimia sufferers"
- "Changes of Body Composition in Bulimia Nervosa: Increased Visceral Fat and Adrenal Gland Size"
- Eating disorder survey targets patients as young as five
- Bulimic symptoms and body image dissatisfaction in college women: more affected by climate or race?"
Don't forget... Stanford and the University of Chicago are about to begin the nation’s largest study of adolescents with bulimia and are currently looking for volunteers (family therapy is one of the treatments being evaluated).
ReplyDeleteThat's the first link!
ReplyDeleteOops, I must have totally glossed over it! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteAnd, uh, I don't mean to be a pain but the link in the "bulimia may be a brain disorder" isn't working. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for this- I will read up later.
