Eating disorders (EDs) are serious clinical conditions associated with persistent eating behavior that negatively affects your health, emotions, and ability to function in areas important to life. The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, binge eating disorder (BED), and bulimia nervosa. ED manifests unevenly in different cultures. The obsession with being thin is a core characteristic of ED and is primarily concentrated in cultures in which food is plentiful, whereas, in cultures of deficiency, the idealistic body shape is much more likely to be larger. This suggests that body ideals tend toward what is more difficult to achieve in specific cultures. However, it is important to note that this initial cause is not specific and there could be other causes for dysfunctional disorders, such as individual risk factors (e.g., low self-esteem). , dissociation, perfectionism, genetics, lack of internal awareness (an inability to accurately identify emotional states, including physiological states as well as fullness or hunger).

Get Original EssayOne of the methods of treating erectile dysfunction is by using Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) on the patient. VNS therapy involves a small device implanted under the skin of the chest that resembles a pacemaker. The method of treating patients suffering from compulsive eating disorders includes the steps of determining a preselected event indicating the need to treat specific nutritional disorders and responding to the occurrence of a predetermined event using a signal of predetermined stimulation. Another method of treating erectile dysfunction that will be covered in this essay is called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT targets the distorted thoughts and bad behaviors that support eating disorder symptoms. Currently, CBT is well prepared for the treatment of “bulimia nervosa” with ISP (interpersonal psychotherapy) proving equivalent long-term effects. Speaking of the VNS method, the patient's vagus nerve is stimulated, which is suitable for reducing the effect of eating disorders. For example, a preselected event may be a certain level of food intake by the patient over a given period of time, or the usual meal start time, based on the patient's circular cycle, or the sequence of each predetermined interval, by recognizing the patient's need for self-healing by voluntarily triggering the stimulation signal to the vagus nerve. In cases where the disorder is forced to eat excessively, the stimulating signal is predetermined to give the patient a feeling of fullness. The occurrence of a predetermined event is determined by summing the number of ingestions by the patient over a specified period of time. In cases where the disorder is a compulsive refusal to eat (anorexia nervosa), the stimulating signal is predetermined for the patient experiencing starvation or satiety. The invention provides apparatus and methods for treating compulsive overeating and obesity, but may also be used in the treatment of other compulsive eating disorders such as bulimia and anorexia. The treatment is done by selectively applying modulating electrical signals specially adapted to the patient's vagus nerve using a neurostimulator.
