Eating Disorders on College Campuses

Posted: Sep 8, 2010 03:26 PM

By: Shannon Hegy

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. (WGGB) -- According to the National Eating Disorders Association, nearly 20 percent of college students believe at some point that they've suffered from an eating disorder.

"The incidents of eating disorders on college campuses are much higher than they are in the general population and that's because of their age, the transition, that there's so much pressure on colleges," said Jennifer Smith.

Smith manages the Walden Behavioral Care Clinic in Northampton. She says the pressure to attain the perfect body leads many college females, and even males, to develop an eating disorder, leaving them at risk for long-term health consequences and even suicide.

"I think I see it," admitted college junior Stephanie Gigliotti. "There's a lot of pressure to be fit around here. You see girls skipping meals and stuff."...finish article

About America the Beautiful
In almost 40,000 media messages a year, youthful Americans are being told that, unless they look like supermodels and rock stars, they're not good enough for anyone to love. It's a message that too many people are buying.

The hope of achieving these 'ideals' has consumers purchasing cosmetics, toiletries, fashion and plastic surgeries at increasingly dramatic rates. Has the 'American Dream' changed so much that it can only be achieved once we can perfectly emulate the super thin and sexy images of the ones we admire so much on the big screen and in pictures?

Filmmaker Darryl Roberts takes the audience on a two year journey to examine America's obsession; physical perfection. In America the Beautiful, we learn secrets, confessions, and strikingly harsh realities as Roberts unearths the origins and deadly risks of our nation's quest for physical perfection. View the trailer at www.americathebeautifuldoc.com.

It is a must see for every parent and daughter.

Going Back to School Met with Mixed Emotions

Press Release

CHICAGO, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Millions of students at all grade levels, from elementary to high school to college, will head back to school – and many times this is met with mixed emotions. Not because the "summer fun" has ended, but because school adds new pressures into the mix, with many kids focusing on trying to be popular, and some just to even fit in.

Many times these pressures can manifest physically, with young men and women trying to be an ideal body size and weight, just like they see in the people they idolize in magazines and movies. Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center, a leader in treatment for eating disorders, wants to educate students and parents about potential problems and let them know assistance is available.

As many as 10 million females and one million males are fighting a life and death battle with anorexia nervosa or bulimia and another 25 million are fighting a binge eating disorder, according to the National Eating Disorders Association. And because of this, body image and eating disorders are growing concerns in schools around the country...finish reading press release

Study shows ‘Mid-life crisis’ does not lead to eating disorders

Age related eating disorder study identifies treatment implications for young adult and midlife women

By Heather Hutchinson of Weise Communications, representing Eating Disorder Center of Denver

An increasing number of middle-aged women are seeking treatment for eating disorders. The so-called 'Desperate Housewives' Syndrome exploded when Felicity Huffman [Actress, Desperate Housewives and Oscar-nominated Transamerica] revealed she suffered from eating disorders throughout her late teens. Her public announcement coincided with the trend of more older women seeking treatment. Traditionally, eating disorders are thought of as occurring in teenage girls and women in their early 20s.

A study completed by the Eating Disorder Center of Denver (EDC-D) exploring age related factors in the onset of eating disorders found no significant differences between the patient age groups studied. The study, under the direction of EDC-D Clinical Director Tamara Pryor, Ph.D. compared the temperament and character traits of younger eating disorder patients to middle-aged eating disorder patients....finish article on Midlife Eating Disorders

BRAVE GIRL EATING
A Family's Struggle with Anorexia
by Harriet Brown

“This is the story of how my older daughter, Kitty, became anorexic and nearly died, and how my husband, my younger daughter, and I helped her recover. This is not a story about family dysfunction, sexual abuse, or a poor little rich girl dying for attention. It’s not a cautionary tale about skinny fashion models and the media. It’s a story about an ordinary teenage girl who fell down the rabbit hole of anorexia-by accident, as it always happens-and about her slow, painful, infinitely courageous climb back up to health and hope, moment by moment, ounce by ounce, one spoonful at a time. This book tells the story of our family’s journey through the nightmare of anorexia, beginning in May 2005 and ending in fall 2006. It covers the most intensive part of our daughter’s illness and recovery, a span of about 18 months that changed all of our lives. Today Kitty is a healthy, happy, ordinary teenager. While it’s too early to make sweeping pronouncements about recovery, we have every reason to believe that she’s free from the nightmare that nearly took her life. While parts of this book are painful and horrifying, it is at heart a narrative of hope.”

Harriet and her family worked with a new and different approach to treatment. Rather than cut the patient off from her family, a method that has proved successful only 30% of the time, all their family attention focused inward and on Kitty, making sure, the way they would if she had cancer, that Kitty took her full dosage of “meds” - food - each and every day.

Eating Disorder Center of Denver now featured in the Eating Disorder Specialist Library



Eating Disorder Center of Denver is one of the nation's foremost centers for the diagnosis and treatment of the full range of eating disorders, including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and diabulimia. Based on an individual's particular clinical needs, we offer a variety of treatment options, including a partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient programs, nutritional counseling, outpatient therapy and an evening treatment program.

The experienced and dedicated team of psychiatrists, therapists, physicians and registered dietitians use their expertise to collaborate on the best method of treatment for each individual. We bring together industry experts through our Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) to ensure we continue to treat eating disorders with the most effective and current methods possible.

Eating disorders are often associated with other conditions, such as depression, anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is why we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with a dual diagnosis. All treatment plans are personalized to ensure recovery for each patient. We follow the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of therapy and incorporate our unique approach, which we call CAMSA™, that focuses on connecting with each individual patient on a personal level. We know that eating disorders touch your very core, so we work to heal you as a whole person.

At Eating Disorder Center of Denver, we believe everyone deserves a healthy life. For that reason, we're committed to providing the most cost effective treatment possible. We accept insurance and can arrange sliding fee payments based on financial necessity.

We recognize that recovering from an eating disorder can be a long and often challenging process. Our staff is committed to providing the life skills that will last long after leaving our center, enabling your recovery to last a lifetime.

OUR UNIQUE TREATMENT APPROACH



At Eating Disorder Center of Denver, we go beyond simply treating the symptoms of an eating disorder. Our integrated approach for diagnosing and treating eating disorders follows the evidence-based biological-psychological-social-spiritual model focusing on healing the whole person. We strive to identify the factors that drive each individual's eating disorder, introducing positive behavioral changes and incorporating those changes into everyday life. We also stress individual empowerment as well as increased personal awareness and wellbeing. Our patients learn to bring about their own changes and celebrate individual successes.

We compliment the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model with our own unique approach we call CAMSA™. CAMSA™ stands for Connection, Acceptance, Mindfulness, Sense of Self and Action. This mindfulness-based treatment model guides individuals through recovery and beyond.

Our treatment programs support healthy transition and change. Our patients increase their personal awareness, wellbeing and health, and leave with a "toolkit" full of knowledge and skills to sustain long-term recovery.

OUR TREATMENT OPTIONS


Eating disorders are unique to each person. We have treatment options that are unique as well.
The scope of care for eating disorder patients depends on the individual and their severity level. At Eating Disorder Center of Denver, we have five levels of treatment that serve most eating disorder patients:

  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) – Our highest level of care for patients diagnosed with an acute eating disorder. This highly structured program includes therapy and therapeutic activities 10 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) – A step down from PHP. Patients transition to some eating on their own and some time away from the center. This program is approximately four hours each day.
  • BRIDGE Evening Intensive Outpatient Program (BRIDGE EIOP) – For patients who require more than outpatient therapy to treat their eating disorder. This program is considered a “transitional” level and includes therapy four evenings per week (includes meals) for 10 weeks.
  • Outpatient Service/Aftercare and Support Groups – Offers a more personal connection than a support group can provide. Therapists, registered dietitians and psychiatrists provide the necessary support to maintain health and recovery.

OUR ADMISSION PROCESS & TREATMENT COSTS



The first step to getting healthy is accepting that you need treatment.

We can provide the treatment and care needed to return you to the successful and healthy status you desire and deserve. Call us and set up a free consultation. Our clinicians will determine the most appropriate treatment program for your eating disorder. And we will address any other contributing factors, such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, substance abuse, etc.

If you are making the decision to get treatment, we will be here with you every step of the way. If you are worried about a loved one, we can help you understand the benefits of our program, but it is essential that your loved one be willing to participate. We are an open facility that empowers our patients to find the strength to heal as individuals.

You can afford a healthy life. At Eating Disorder Center of Denver we believe everyone deserves a healthy life. For that reason we are committed to providing the most cost effective treatment possible. We accept insurance and can arrange sliding fee payments based on financial necessity. We are your advocates for good health and can work with your insurance company to obtain coverage. We will also work with out-of-network insurance companies to facilitate special coverage agreements.
