Does striving for academic perfection cause eating disorders?
Academic pressure has been linked to eating disorders in teenagers. Studies have found that the incredibly high pressure on teenagers to achieve in the academic arena may trigger eating disorders with female students being the most vulnerable.
Pressure can come from several areas resulting in teenagers seeking some sort of outlet. The outlet that is selected isn’t always the healthiest or most constructive. Society, schools, and parents can all create pressure on teenagers to do well academically. These three groups can pressure an individual to aim for perfection, which is an impossible task.
The competition for places in college, university, and/or the workforce has led to a greater degree of pressure. Striving for academic perfection can result in negative forces applied to a teenager’s mental health.
The fight for perfection
A lot of parents put pressure on their kids to achieve perfection in their academic careers. Whether it be perfection in the classroom or on a school sports team, young people can feel weighed down and suffocated by the pressure. Many parents that ask for perfection from their children were not perfect in their academic years. Nor are they perfect as grown-ups making their desire for flawless academic work to be hypocritical.
Failure is used to describe someone that has not succeeded. However, the word is thrown around all too often leaving teenagers feeling like success and failure in life are black and white. There are grey areas in life and simply being imperfect is not the be all, end all to success.
Academic success and anxiety
Striving for academic success can build anxiety in teenage students. As a young person moves through high school, the pressure to do well increases. They may want to obtain a university scholarship, certain test score to get into a prestigious university, or do well on an interview to land an internship. The pressure to achieve these items can build anxiety.
Perfectionism in childhood can produce eating disorders as individuals grow older. A person’s life can be greatly altered by striving for perfectionism. They do not know how to deal with the stress and anxiety, and thus have a poor relationship with food as the outcome. Mental health issues can result and these can be life-endangering. Eating disorders can also be life-long and as the teenager becomes an adult, become greater due to even more pressure being experienced.
The link between perfectionism and eating disorders
There is a misconception that eating disorders develop because an individual wants to lose weight. An eating disorder doesn’t always come out of someone seeking to drop a few pounds. Perfectionism in academia and eating disorders demonstrate how mental health issues can develop in young people.
Eating disorders develop out of underlying emotions, thoughts, and feelings. These drive a person to behave in certain ways. On the surface, most people would consider an eating disorder to be about food. However, there are typically underlying issues such as academic perfection pressure that creates the eating disorder.
Treatment programs help individuals treat the underlying problems in eating disorders and not just the symptoms. Parents can play a key role in the treatment of an eating disorder brought on by perfectionism by explaining to their teenagers that failures occur in life. In addition, showing their child that academia doesn’t have to be black and white can perform wonders for a teenager’s mental health.
Call Stuart 07825 599340 if you are a loved one are experiencing issues with eating and perfectionism .

Progesterone Levels -I.B.S and Emotional eating
Irritable Bowel Syndrome -(I.B.S )-Age, Menopause and I.B.S
When asked about symptom severity throughout life stages, 65% of participants agreed that their IBS-related symptoms worsened with age. There is a limited number of studies on the effects of ageing with IBS available, but one study into women with IBS
showed that abdominal pain and overall quality of life measures were worse in the older age group. What causes this?
The current mechanism is unknown, but it could be due to the effects of menopause in women over 50. Menopause can have both physical and psychological symptoms that worsen the quality of life and the ability to cope with them. Indeed, studies into post-menopausal women with IBS compared to pre-menopausal
have proven it to be true, showing a lower quality of life and more intense IBS symptoms for the former. This link may also be due to the effect of hormone changes on the gut-brain axis which has a role to play in IBS.
It is common for people to experience worsening IBS symptoms when menstruating. Experts estimate that this is true for 50% of women with IBS. Hormone fluctuations during menstruation are well known to affect the bowel even in those without IBS - in fact,
this is colloquially known as “period poop”. But the effects are more intense in individuals suffering from irritable bowel syndrome.
Prostaglandins are at high levels during people’s periods. Since this hormone causes the uterus to pulsate and shed its lining, it can also cause increased gut motility - leading to loose stool and
increased frequency of bowel movements.
The increased stimulation can also lead to stomach cramps - a prominent symptom in both menstruation and IBS.
IBS and menstruation
Progesterone and oestrogen are also at high levels during menstruation. These tend to make stool firmer and induce constipation. So, worsening constipation can also be a feature in
menstruation and IBS. Higher progesterone levels can also increase
compulsive emotional eating. This can lead to increased intake of high sugar foods, in turn, leading to increased flatulence - another key symptom in IBS.
Hypnotherapy can help achieve permanent, long-lasting relief from IBS symptoms, by address the miscommunication between the gut and the brain. Your oversensitive nerves in the gut needs to calm down and Hypnotherapy does that by engaging the subconscious mind. Suggestions and associations are given to help you reprogram your inner beliefs. Over time, they will replace the negative associations your subconscious mind holds. As a result, hypnotherapy will reduce the signals of pain, relax the intestine, and help your body calm down the gut's sensitive nerves. You teach the mind to control your gut, so you are no longer at the mercy of your body functions anymore.

Binge Eating
Binge eating is different from having a little too much food at mealtimes.
There is a distinct, compulsive state of mind when binge occurs. Fixating on the food ,at that moment the consequences don't matter, excessively binging on whatever food is typically binged on or anything that is available in the absence of this food type.
There may be a few moments of pleasure in those first
mouthfuls, but as that zoned out /trance states continues , the taste , quantity and enjoyment becomes insignificant.
Feelings of shame, regret ,guilt and out of control quickly follow the binge episode and contribute to that negative mindset for the next binge episode in the future to escape these feelings.
The secretiveness - purchasing and sneaking food in, the anticipation and opportunity to binge in secret are contributors to being trapped in the binge cycle.
So what is going on here ? Why binge ? Why this compulsive pattern and altered state of consciousness when binging ?
Some areas of life may be unsatisfying or difficult, maybe work ,home life or relationships, control, internal negative beliefs or simply escaping unpleasant thoughts and feelings- even though binge makes everything in the long term worse .
Call Stuart -07825 599340 to discuss how a few sessions of therapy can identify and resolve binging issues and allow you to address your work-life and emotional balance better .
