Today's children since the age of six are beginning to suffer from diseases such as anorexia or bulimia. Doctors urge society to start to sound the alarm .
Usually these Eating Disorder lead to the hospitalization of adolescents 15-18 years, but for some time now even the youngest children are patients of specialized clinics. Given the fact that the development of anorexia or Bulimia require a considerable period of time, it can be concluded that the six-year patients begin strict diet before school age.
Researchers from the Institute of Child Health at University College London have discovered as many as 208 of shocking cases of "early onset" eating disorders in children under the age of 13 years. In some cases, hospitalized patients was six years old. These facts were revealed by scientists during the 14-month study. In all cases, the children themselves define themselves extreme diet, or even refusing to eat, or using laxatives or inducing vomiting after every meal.
Experts are calling for immediate urgent action for the early recognition and treatment of eating disorders in children. The sooner treatment begins, the better the chances of success. Alas, sometimes even long-term therapy is not helping the victim anorexia back to health and disease is very young patients to an early death.
"For a certain number of children, it could be the beginning of heavy and painful illness, in which the mortality rate is comparable to some forms of leukemia, - said study author Dr. Dasha Nicolis. - Eating disorders children difficult time to diagnose and even harder to treat. "
In most cases, the cause of these disorders is the cult of lean body, formed in the world. Children and adolescents are acutely aware of their own "imperfections", also in the children's environment, any figure flaws or defects of speech may become a pretext for the ongoing persecution.
