With the new public altercations of eating disorders, the authors believe that social

anxiety and self consciousness are greatly associated with these known disorders,

especially a binge eating disorder (BED). The authors gathered a group of 113

overweight men and women who struggle with BEDs. Experienced doctoral-level

research clinicians were requested to record the heights and weights of the individuals

and request evaluations. After the completion of a collection of self-report questionnaires,

the participants were evaluated using the Eating Disorder Examination. The results were

then put onto a table that scaled the results. After the analysis was drawn the authors

received results that stated there were correlations between depressive symptoms, dietary

restraint, eating concern, shape concern, and social anxiety. As well, those who had

higher social anxiety had greater self-consciousness complications and binge eating. This

piece of work can be used for my research analysis as it provides an appropriate example

of how an eating disorder can affect the mental well being of an individual. However, it

may not be the right fit as it does not relate to adolescents rather it focuses on adults.

The authors identify what common eating disorders there are and define each. They also

incorporate Night Eating Syndrome, and allow the reader to understand it is associated

with night eating, evening hypophagia, morning anorexia, insomnia, a deteriorating mood

that gets worse at night, and emotional torment. It is commonly known that people with

EDs experience sleep difficulties. According to studies, ED diseases are frequently linked

to mental comorbidity and insomnia, with these connections becoming stronger as the

severity of the ED symptoms rises. They then conduct a study using 170 women ranging

from different ages. According to the approved diagnostic criteria for NES, patients

completed a full clinical psychiatric evaluation utilizing the mini international

neuropsychiatric interview for bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorders, and NES. Those

participants who consented to take part in the study also completed self-report

questionnaires and received an actigraph to wear on their non-dominant wrist to track

their sleep for at least five days and nights. They then used a program to examine sleep

quality after the actigraph and self-reported sleep questionnaire were returned. After the

authors received their data back they found that poor sleep quality was reported in all the

eating disorder groups recorded. This is important to my essay because it allows me to

have some results of how eating disorders affect physical health and well being. It may

not be included however because of the age group reports and the fact it solely focused

on women.

It is known how eating disorders have affected people, with the likelihood of physical

complications, mental strain and even suicide. The authors are well aware of the new

generations and the upbringing of eating disorders and are interested in the long-term

health effects of these adolescents that have begun to develop terrible eating habits. Some

of the effects of eating disorders from a young age include chronic fatigue, insomnia,

frequent pain, migraines, and health problems. This was reviewed on tables in the article.

The authors expressed how those who had developed eating disorders from adolescence

had an increased incidence of anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and suicide

attempts in the early years of adulthood. According to the current research, adolescents

with eating disorders are more likely to have a wide range of physical and mental health

issues, and a more likely chance to uphold these severe health problems throughout their

entire lives. This source can be a great implementation for my research because it proves

that eating disorders do not only affect adolescents' current state but can continue to

negatively build as they mature.

The authors begin by stating that eating disorders usually begin in mid-teen years. These

authors are understanding how eating disorders continue from adolescence into early

adulthood. To complete this study the authors asked for students [with parental consent]

to fill out questionnaires. Their weights, heights, anxiety, depression were recorded and

they roughly took 6 years to determine whether there would be a noticeable difference in

eating habits. From the data collected, the authors were proven wrong with their

experiment group and came to the conclusion that eating disorders for the majority do not

continue to adulthood. Even though it was a different outcome, it did come back how

eating disorders may correlate with anxiety and depressive issues. The article was very

informational, however, it won’t tie into my research as well as I would like. I chose the

article to provide background and prove the overall effects of early developed eating

disorders.

Depression, Eating Disorders, and in Healthy Individuals.” Psychology and

751–69. Crossref, https://doi.org/10.1111/papt.12137.

The authors’ main objective of writing the article was to understand about the

phenomenology of self-criticism and how it relates to other concepts like perfectionism

and rumination. They do this by understanding how people with eating disorders are

more likely to have higher results of self-criticism and issues that relate to weight and

shape. The authors found multiple groups of people that obtained different types of

disorders, eating disorders being one of them. By using Habit Index of Negative Thinking

(HINT) to measure habitual self-critical thinking, and to explore the cognitive process
 Garza 5

element of self-criticism. After the results came back, it was apparent how people with

eating disorders had high rates of self-critical issues and how this group has the least

amount of interest in changing their way of thinking. This article was interesting and

proved to me that even compared to other groups people with eating disorders have one

of the most harmful mental processes and emotions towards themselves. This can be

implemented into my writing because it can easily be used to prove how detrimental

eating disorders are to the mental well-being of a young adult.

Psychology, vol. 65, no. 9, Wiley, pp. 989–99. Crossref,

https://doi.org/10.1002/jclp.20586.

With the new found studies and percentages the author begins to identify what the

commonalities are between different types of eating disorders and its links to other

disorders such as depression. The authors express how the relationship between

depression and EDs come together by low self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, and social

comparison. To apply their hypotheses, they gathered a group of willinging participants;

the participants then took a questionnaire that measured their weight concern, body

concern, restraint, and shape concern. The study received the likelihood of depression

being a result of eating disorders. On the other hand, it was shown how eating disorders

can result from depression and the negative perception of oneself. Even though the article

was interesting, it was difficult to understand and results of the experiment didn’t go the

way I wanted. It still allows me to see correlations to mental health decrease with dealing

with an eating disorder.

Mental health has always been an issue in all time lines. In this article the author refers to

mental health literacy and its meaning. Mental Health Literacy is classifying the disorder,

the classification management of it and the probable prevention. Throughout the article

the author mentions ED-Mental Health Literacy. The main objective of the writing is to

figure out ways to lessen the amount of people with diagnosed disorders and ways to

identify them. It points out how self-obsession or a weak view of oneself may increase

the chances of an ED. The author expresses to the reader how eating disorders are usually

more common in adolescent years, especially teen girls. All in all, the author wants to

figure out a system to prevent these eating disorders in young years. Although it is

factual, the article may not be useful for my research as it does not pertain to mental,

physical, or social health.

https://doi.org/10.1002/eat.23634.

From the beginning of the article the author identifies how eating disorders and mental

factors correlate. It does this by entering the body dissatisfaction, shape/weight concerns,

and self worth. When the author begins to tie these combinations together it may provide

a strong argument on how eating disorders result in mental dissatisfactions and pain. The

goal of the current study was to provide a more thorough understanding of the self-worth
 Garza 7

implications of eating disorder pathology. It was able to do this by allowing participants

to fill out questionnaires and surveys. The results came back stating emphasis on

self-concept issues and diminished well-being, it is possible that the current study was

considered relevant to those who were suffering eating disorder symptoms.This article

may be a fit for my topic of social mental suffering if included by allowing there to be an

understanding how deeply it affects an individual when trying to live regular lives.

Hogan, Marjorie J., and Victor C. Strasburger. “Body Image, Eating Disorders, and the Media.”

Adolesc Med 19, pp. 521–48.

From the start the author addresses the issues upon body image and body dissatisfaction.

It mentions how in early years it usually begins to develop when adolescents are in their

teenage years. It continues to say that these habits and dissatisfactions begin from early

ages when families allow their opinions and influences to impact children from a certain

age. When this begins eating disorders grow and become a problem for the future. The

authors continue to mention how magazines and media give young teens ideas on how

they are “supposed” to look like. This is also unnecessary added pressure to the teenagers

that make them feel bad for not looking a certain way. Sadly this is primarily the reason

eating disorders start from such a young age. When eating disorders become a part of the

picture that's when serious mental issues accumulate and form. I can use this article in

my writing by adding a little background on how eating disorders develop in the first

place and negatively grow and become a problem for the younger generation.

Because of the high rate of obese children, the author began to look at what it can lead to.

That being eating disorders. Obese children are faced with challenges such as increased

bullying, difficulty maintaining both platonic and romantic connections with their peers,

and a higher likelihood of suicide attempts. In regards to this, adolescents feel the need to

have dietary restraint and slowly begin to develop an eating disorder (ED). For the

research they asked schools and teenagers to participate. They then measured the BMI of

the willing participants and were given a questionnaire to determine their likelihood of an

ED. When the authors received their results, their hypothesis was correct and the

correlation between the obese children and likelihood of an ED were high at risk.

According to the findings, overweight teenagers who are at high risk of developing ED

also have higher levels of stress, anxiety, sadness, and physical, emotional, and social

impairment. This article was very broad in information and can be a great use for my

research. It is great quality and context by adding how mental health and eating disorders

tie together negatively.
