TEACHER TALK 1
What motivates you to do the things you do or to make the decisions you make? Are these motives innate, meaning are they just instinct, or are they the result of your upbringing and environment? What about emotions, why do we get angry, sad, happy, etc… Why do those feelings produce physical responses like sweaty palms, rapid heartbeat, or a flushed face? In this module we learn about ways in which we express emotion and the parts of the brain that are involved in emotional processing, regulation, and perception. We will also learn that emotions as well as biological needs drive or motivate our behavior.
To get us started let's take a look at a Crash Course in Motivation.
TEACHER TALK 2
TEACHER TALK 3
Today we looked at the three major eating disorders—anorexia, or voluntary starvation; bulimia, marked by bouts of bingeing followed by purging; and binge-eating, marked by excessive eating.
Eating disorders happen as a result of severe disturbances in eating behavior, such as unhealthy reduction of food intake or extreme overeating. These patterns can be caused by feelings of distress or concern about body shape or weight and they harm normal body composition and function. A person with an eating disorder may have started out just eating smaller or larger amounts of food than usual, but at some point, the urge to eat less or more spirals out of control.
Eating disorders frequently develop during adolescence or early adulthood, but some reports indicate their onset can occur during childhood or later in adulthood. Many adolescents are able to hide these behaviors from their family for months or years.
Eating disorders are not due to a failure of will or behavior; rather, they are real, treatable medical illnesses in which certain patterns of eating take on a life of their own.
Eating disorders frequently occur together with other psychiatric illness such as depression, substance abuse, or anxiety disorders. In addition, people who suffer from eating disorders can experience a wide range of physical health complications, including serious heart conditions and kidney failure, which may lead to death. Recognition of eating disorders as real and treatable diseases, therefore, is critically important.
Females are much more likely than males to develop an eating disorder. Only an estimated 5 to 15 percent of people with anorexia or bulimia and an estimated 35 percent of those with binge-eating disorders are male.
