Jakarta, 9 November 2016 – Eating disorders are often overlooked in Indonesia, yet their impact can be fatal to both physical and mental health. On Net TV’s Indonesia Morning Show (IMS), dr. Grace Judio-Kahl appeared to educate viewers about eating disorders. dr. Grace emphasized that eating disorders are not just a matter of taste, but a serious condition that can even be life-threatening if not treated properly.
Main Categories of Eating Disorders
During the talkshow on IMS Net TV, dr. Grace explained that eating disorders are divided into three main categories that we need to be aware of:
- Anorexia Nervosa
Individuals with anorexia typically have an intense fear of weight gain. As a result, they engage in extremely restrictive diets, leading to a very thin appearance, yet they still perceive themselves as being overweight. - Bulimia Nervosa
Similar to anorexia, bulimia sufferers are also very afraid of becoming fat. The difference is that they usually eat large amounts of food, but afterwards they will try hard to “get rid of the food” from their bodies, for example by inducing vomiting or using certain drugs because of feelings of guilt. - Binge Eating
Unlike the previous two types, people with binge eating disorder tend to have a habit of eating very large portions excessively and find it difficult to stop, even though they already feel very full.
The Importance of Support and Self-Awareness
dr. Grace reminded viewers of the vital importance of recognizing our body’s signals and maintaining a healthy relationship with food. By understanding the characteristics of eating disorders, we can be more sensitive to our own condition and that of those closest to us.
