Anorexia in young adults
Common Questions and Answers about Anorexia in young adults
anorexia
Yes, she's too young -- these meds aren't approved for people that young, though doctors can prescribe them. Her brain is still developing. These drugs aren't even recommended long-term for adults, so imagine if this becomes, as mentioned above, the med merry go round. I'd stick with therapy and realize that all 13 year olds are nuts in some way that sometimes lasts but usually doesn't.
People, especially young adults or teens will often say nasty things, especially when they realise they have hit a nerve. That does not mean that what they are saying true.
I often see young girls on the internet now claiming that their anorexia or bulimia is not a problem but a lifestyle choice, and have began to personify their illnesses. This is SO wrong.
You have not found a lifelong friend, you have found a self destructive monkey, that's gonna fight to stay on your back.
my 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADD. doctor put her on 25mg. strattera for a month and then up to 40mg. In 4 months she has lost 28lbs. she is down to 90 lbs. and is 5'6". She has excelled at school but now we are scared about her weight. doctor dropped her back down to 25mg. She has trouble falling asleep and staying asleep and has alot of anxiety. Therapist just labeled her anorexic. Is there anyway to get her appetite back and still take meds?
Is it normal finding white appearenc of the retina in young adults?
How old is your son? Are these baby teeth or adult teeth? I wouldn't pull any adult teeth unless absolutely necessary. Yes, the wisdom teeth could potentially fill in that space but there are complications with that. As the wisdom teeth come in, they don't move sideways into the space but rather, they tilt in and lean in sideways which causes problems with the jaw bone.
Also ive recently had bloods done but my LFT (liver function test) has come back abnormal its been that way for 4 mounths now. Oh and i also suffer from anorexia but am having help for it and am trying to recover.
Im 18 and I get aroused but hardly ever want to act on it. My partner gets aroused much more often than I and I, more often than not, say no even if she arouses me as well. We've been together two years and it's becoming frustrating to both of us. I'm not sure why I do it. I know that I always "don't feel like it." we participate in sexual activity roughly 4-5 times a week. There are just days when I absolutely don't want to do any sort of sexual activity.
re crossing into the area of Anorexia. I have heard about the trend with young people, especially girls, thinking that Anorexia is a "cool" or "in" thing. Well, it isn't. People die from this mental illness.
Please, concentrate on being fit and healthy. When you exercise, do not do it in excess, but do not be a couch potato either. Go with moderation and go with an activity you actually enjoy. Do not become Obsessive/Compulsive about exercise or weight loss.
Our (Type 1) juvenile diabetic 25 year old athletic marathon running/bike riding daughter with good sugar and cholestrol levels most of her life had a massive heart attack recently. Has anyone studied the effects of "insulin" in young adults to see if there is any correlation between insulin and heart attacks in young adults?
I have read various articles on the internet since then and all of them talk about high blood pressure in young adults occurring due to bad diet, lack of exercise etc which does not fit. Also articles saying that blood pressure medicine not likely to be efffective on young adults.
How serious is this situation and what should he do?
Mostly it appears to be thinning and I began to notice it about a month ago and to me it seems to be getting worse by the week. There is no history of hair loss in my family men or women before menopause. I have been experiencing irregular periods for the past two year but they have recently been regular. It seems strange to me that a female of my age would be having hair loss. Do you think its permanent? What should I do?
Porn is becoming a household name (for adults). It is limitless in every direction. It sounds like you are simply off balance and need a hobby or three. Remember most porn paints an unrealistic picture of how sex really is. It creates a hunger that can never be quenched. less is more buddy. I would definitely cut back. Increase the social networking and balance yourself.
I’ve read before that low grade lymphomas are common in young adults but then also read that low grade cancer s in young people are incredibly rare at the same time so I’m a bit confused by that. As you know I’ve had swollen nodes for well over a year now (nearing a year and a half) and I’m just concerned about low grade lymphomas.

s likely that no treatment is needed---just let your doctor know if you have repeated episodes of your pulse being higher than normal or if you have dizziness/weakness/palpitations (though palpitations in a young, healthy person are usually not serious either). I'm so proud of you for making progress in your battle against anorexia. You've made so much progress since we started chatting nearly 1-1/2 years ago. I hope you're as proud of yourself as I am of you. Keep up the good work!
Hi,
I'm 21 years old, male at around 65 kgs. My girlfriend is of the age (more on this later)
I just have a few questions regarding pneumonia, and how easily (or difficult) it is transmitted in healthy young adults.
Context:
My girlfriend's aunt recently got hospitalized due to pneumonia, and my girlfriend has been taking care of her for about 3 days now. Now this may sound stupid and selfish, but my concern is her and me catching pneumonia too.
Check out the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle...it helps tremendously...from there you can branch out...I used this 12 years ago...now I run Marathons with no meds...there are a lot of things I have learned about managing this disease with diet along the way...but now I eat almost anything I want...and supplement with various natural things such as Omega 3, Food based probiotic vitamins, etc...
No, hepc in an equal opportunity virus. It is transmitted from blood to blood contact.
The number one mode of transmission is IV Drug use so most children are not exposed to that. Blood transfusion was another common form of transmission, however, all blood is now screened for for hep b & c. I won't say they catch 100% of infected blood but it's pretty close to that.
In my opinion, children are less likely to be exposed to hepc. There is a very small (5%?
I was wondering if her doctors have considered issues like bulimia/ anorexia in her. Other than this issues that may need to be considered are recurrent infections, food allergies/ intolerance, parasitic infestations etc. Without a clinical evaluation it would be inappropriate on my side to comment further. I would suggest a detailed evaluation by a gastroenterologist for the above mentioned possibilities. After a cause is diagnosed, it can be managed accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Take care!
