These might include bereavement, being bullied or abused, a divorce in the family or concerns about sexuality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14787 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae-600x399.png\" alt=\"eating disorder dubai uae\" width=\"538\" height=\"358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae-600x399.png 600w, https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae-225x150.png 225w, https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae.png 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 538px) 100vw, 538px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Warning signs parents should look for include unexplained weight loss, a change in eating patterns, excessive exercise, frequent vomiting after eating, and young people taking diet pills, laxatives or diuretics. Anorexia nervosa, a condition in which a patient drastically reduces food intake, and bulimia, in which a patient purges after eating, are the most common eating disorders. They usually affect young people between the ages of 14 and 18.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Binge-eating disorders \u2013 associated with obesity \u2013 are another worrying problem and often come hand-in-hand with mental health issues, said Dr Luthra. \u201cThis is a major concern because rising obesity is a public health issue in UAE,\u201d said Dr Luthra, who will be addressing eating disorders in UAE adolescents at the Paediatrics Conference during the Arab Health Recruitment and Training Fair in October.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cEating disorders can be life threatening so parents must seek treatment for their teen. Do not dismiss it as a passing phase and delay treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-14788\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae-national.png\" alt=\"eating disorder dubai uae\" width=\"553\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae-national.png 1046w, https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae-national-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gncdubai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/eating-disorder-dubai-uae-national-600x502.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/a>Jared Alden of the German Neuroscience Centre in Dubai Healthcare City said teenagers were successfully hiding their condition from parents and teachers. \u201cI don\u2019t think a lot of the children and young adults who are suffering from eating disorders are seeking treatment,\u201d he said. \u201cI think children are keeping it a secret and they are able to do so even from close family members.\u201d The psychologist said eating disorders were not gender specific and could affect both expatriates and Emiratis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However expats are more likely to spot an eating disorder in a family member. \u201cThey have grown up with this issue being a topic. So they might recognise it more quickly. There is a familiarity with it.\u201d The health risks of an eating disorder are profound, he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe trouble is because someone is young they don\u2019t immediately show up. Some conditions won\u2019t even appear until their late forties, but it has a very big effect.\u201d The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders estimates that 11 per cent of high-school pupils have been found to have an eating disorder. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Eating disorders, especially anorexia, can have many health consequences, said Ruba Rizk, a consultant physician in adolescent medicine at Sheikh Khalifa Medical City. These include electrolyte imbalance, abnormally slow heart rate and low blood pressure. It can also effect a girl\u2019s menstrual cycle. Eating disorders are also linked to depression and anxiety.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However most of these health conditions are treatable if caught early, said Dr Rizk, who will also be addressing the October conference. She describes eating disorders as \u201ca disease of adolescence\u201d and once classed as the \u201cmiddle class syndrome\u201d. \u201cBut now we are seeing it across all races, all societies, all social economic classes. It is no longer restricted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe problem here is catching it early. As a physician we can just monitor the weight and if we see a drop in weight we are supposed to ask some leading questions and find out about the child\u2019s eating habits, if they have any mental disorder issues. \u201cBut really you have to rely on the parents.\u201d However, juggling busy working lives has meant family interaction has reduced. \u201cThere is no one really keeping track of how much food a teenager is eating and whether this child is dieting or not or any kind of purging\/binging behaviour.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New alert sounded in the UAE over eating disorders.
