Recognizing and Treating Anorexia and Bulimia
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia are not the same illnesses but they can be very similar in both cause and effect. Treatment for each disorder also overlaps. Anorexia is a growing eating disorder among young women where they starve themselves to become thin. Bulimia is also a popular eating disorder that commonly affects women who have an extreme fear of gaining weight. Instead of starving, they choose to stuff themselves with food and then purge it by forcing themselves to vomit. Both disorders have risen dramatically in the last few years, with one in three women below the age of 20 suffering from either one.

Pathological Eating Disorders and Poly-Behavioral Addiction
According to the World Health Organization (June, 2005), “obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults overweight - at least 300 million of them clinically obese - and is a major contributor to the global burden of chronic disease and disability. This article purports that the poor prognosis in treating patients with obesity may possibly be due to not diagnosing and treating thier other poly-behavioral addictions simultaneously. This systematic underdiagnostic standard in the field of addictions could be due to a lack of diagnostic tools and resources that are presently incapable of resolving the complexity of assessing and treating a patient with multiple behavioral and substance abuse addictions. The Addictions Recovery Measurement System (ARMS) is proposed as a first step in fighting this global War on Poly-behavioral Addictions.
