Not just a woman's disease
Misconceptions of male eating disorders keep men from getting the help they need.
Walking up and down the aisle of the local supermarket, Richard Dickinson selected his groceries carefully, but he didn't
shop for items to stock in his pantry or refrigerator. Instead, his list consisted of a few bags of cookies, a pumpkin pie, a
gallon of chocolate ice cream, a jar of peanut butter, chocolate syrup, and a bag of potato chips. When Dickinson
returned home, he sat down in front of the television, made sure no one else was around and began eating. He didn't
stop until the cookies, the ice cream, the potato chips and the pie were gone. He then walked to the bathroom, knelt in
front of the toilet and purged.
Male Anorexia: One million victims, ashamed and overlooked.
Gear magazine, in their Jan/Feb 99 issue, took on a subject that few main stream men's magazines would touch. They
report, "Until now, the national clamor over eating disorders and body image problems has concentrated exclusively on
women, reinforced by the feminist assumption that the mania is "caused" by the tyranny of the media-fueled beauty cult.
It is women, not men, who have been pegged as the 'victims' of this obsessive focus on looks and nothing fuels the
victim image more satisfying than an emaciated, anorexic woman. But recent studies, though they have received little
attention, have illuminated a startling and troubling fact: one in six cases of eating disorders are diagnosed in men."  Dr
Arnold E Andersen, MD a professor of psychiatry at the University of Iowa says that men with eating disorders have
been "ignored, neglected and dismissed because of statistical infrequency, or legislated out of existence by theoretical
dogma."  (When have we heard that before?  Cancer, domestic violence, rape, statutory rape, sexual harassment. Also,
men out-die women in all 15 major causes of death while the press and research dollars and awareness campaigns
virtually ignore the situation. That's really something to think about!)

The stigma attached to eating disorders, profound as it is among women, is almost insurmountable among men, who not
only resist treatment, but are frequently refused treatment even when they do seek it. Those men who do get help often
have a heavy burden of shame to unload. In fact, amenorrhea (the cessation of menstrual periods in females) was
regarded for years as a central criterion of anorexia - men, by definition couldn't have it. Also, the stereotype of the
effeminate homosexual male model also dominates, but 80 percent of men with eating disorders - whether bulimia or
anorexia - are heterosexual. Anorexia and bulimia are characterized, in both men and women, by essentially the same
traits: self-induced starvation, an excessive fear of becoming fat even when thin, and a tendency toward compulsive
living patterns. Men don't necessarily think in terms of "fat" or "thin" as women do. They relate in terms of "strong" or
"weak", where fat is associated with being weak, unmanly and disgusting. So, for many men, structured forms of exercise
are carried to obsessive levels. Treatment needs differ between men and women - they have different preoccupations
with body image, and will be returning to different body shapes. Even if men do decide to seek treatment, the medical
establishment may not be prepared and many don't even know how to respond.
Thanks Gear for having the guts to provide the information. Now, let's hope that those million plus men affected by
anorexia are man enough to seek help!
Men now falling victim to eating disorders
By BethAnne Black, HealthScoutNews
Thomas Holbrook knows from experience that eating disorders don't discriminate between the sexes.
A Wisconsin psychiatrist who actually specializes in the treatment of eating disorders, Holbrook fell victim to anorexia
nervosa when he stopped running in 1976 after suffering a knee injury and began obsessing about becoming fat.
So he adopted a strict diet of carrots and cabbage and began walking six hours a day.
"I was waking up at 2:30 or 3 in the morning and walking for hours on end. I was the champion of denial, and probably
sicker than any of my patients," Holbrook remembers.
Holbrook is among the small but growing number of men who suffer from eating disorders, which can range from
anorexia nervosa to bulimia nervosa to binge eating. Although there are no reliable statistics on the number of men with
eating disorders, anecdotal evidence indicates the problem is increasing, according to experts.
"More and more men with eating disorders have sought help over the past few years," says Jill Pollack, a
psychotherapist in private practice in New York City.
"We've seen lots of men step forward with these problems in the past year, perhaps because they're seeking resources
and support," adds Judy Teffer, a spokeswoman for the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated
Disorders.
She estimates that of the 8 million Americans with eating disorders, 1 million are now men.
But the mistaken belief that only women or teen-age girls are afflicted by eating disorders still prevails, experts say.
"Historically, women were the targets of the diet industry. But, only in the past few years have men been so aggressively
marketed to with weight-loss and bulk-up products," says Leigh Cohn, who co-authored the book Making Weight: Men's
Conflicts with Food, Weight, Shape and Appearance with Holbrook.
Says Pollack: "I've counseled wrestlers who feel pressured to 'make the weight' in order to be on their school's team. To
my horror, their coaches will give them water pills, tell them to use the steam room, run more, or bulk up to a certain
size."
Roadblocks to Recovery
Not surprisingly, men with eating disorders are less likely than women to seek treatment because they feel shame or
embarrassment.
Compounding the problem is that doctors often don't spot the signs in men.
"I visited the emergency room countless times and no questions were ever asked about my appearance, despite the fact
that my skin was orange from eating too many carrots," Holbrook says.
One telltale sign of a man with an eating disorder is an obsessive preoccupation with his body, weight and shape. This is
often coupled with certain behaviors such as compulsive over-exercising or abusing products that help "bulk up," says
Dr. Angela Guarda, the director of the eating-disorders program at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
Other symptoms include restricting the amounts or types of foods eaten (eating no fat or eating only vegetables, for
example); "purging" eaten foods by vomiting or using laxatives or diuretics; relying on diet pills; and losing noticeable
weight or fluctuating in size.
Although eating disorders describe an array of problematic behaviors, the three main types that afflict men — and
women — are:
•        Anorexia nervosa, which is often characterized by self-starvation and compulsive exercising.
•        Bulimia nervosa, which involves recurring periods of binge eating and purging. Large amounts of food are
consumed in a short amount of time, followed by self-induced vomiting, the abuse of laxatives or diuretics, and fasting.
•        Binge-eating disorder involves out-of-control or compulsive overeating. Someone with this condition often
fluctuates between periods of overeating and dieting.
Men who participate in competitive sports where body shape and size are important — gymnastics, ice skating, crew,
dance and wrestling — are at increased risk for eating disorders.
Experts say other forces can lead to eating problems in men, including:
•        Negative family patterns. Parents who stress fitness or athleticism to an unhealthy degree, or have unrealistic
expectations for their children, can often contribute to eating problems.
•        Media influence. Magazines and TV commercials increasingly sport photos of lean, muscular, athletic-looking men,
increasing the pressure to be trim and fit.
•        Traumatic events. Sexual, physical or emotional abuse can also set the stage for eating disorders.
The common thread is that the patient has experienced intense emotional pain and doesn't know how to cope with it in a
healthy way. Controlling eating habits, weight or bodily functions often provides a false sense of control, Pollack says.
Fortunately, psychotherapy and support groups can help.
"A huge part of recovery is accepting that you have an eating disorder and talking about it," Holbrook says. "Getting
therapy was the best thing that I've done for myself."
What To Do
The first step in dealing with an eating disorder is to speak with a psychotherapist or mental-health professional who
specializes in the treatment of these disorders.
Experts also recommend contacting a nutritionist or registered dietitian to help develop healthful eating habits and menu
planning.
Doctors and psychologists are failing to identify men suffering from eating disorders, research has found
The study, by the Eating Disorders Association (EDA), found that health professionals were only used to treating women
with conditions such as anorexia and bulimia.
Now the EDA hopes to raise awareness of the fact that men too can suffer from the debilitating disorders.
Around one in 10 of the UK's 60,000 people reported as suffering from eating disorders are men.
But experts believe the figure could be far higher as men are less likely to admit to the condition than women.
They also believe that gay men are more likely to suffer from eating disorders because of an obsession with body image
and physical perfection.
The EDA review of services for men with eating disorders aims to collect more up-to-date and accurate figures, and ask
male sufferers about their experiences.
It will be completed by the end of the year and further research will then be commissioned into men and eating disorders.
The issue was highlighted in 1997 by the public admission of pop star and former Coronation Street actor Adam Rickitt
that he battled with bulimia at school.
Not used to seeing men
A spokesman for the EDA said: "The usual route to an eating disorders unit is through a GP and then a psychologist.
"The problem is that at least 90% of the people seen with eating disorders are women.
"Doctors and psychologists are not used to seeing men and may not pick up on the warning signs that they are suffering
from an eating disorder."
He added: "Men have different problems when it comes to eating disorders and the diagnosis can be more complicated.
"Instead of simply starving, they tend to over-exercise and cut down on the amount they eat.
"They may not look drawn and painfully thin like female sufferers, but instead appear muscular, but they are still
suffering from the same eating disorder."
The spokesman said another problem was that classic signs of anorexia, such as missed periods, are obviously not
going to be seen in men.
Men may also require different therapies and an alternative approach to treatment.
"We need to find out what men need from the provision of healthcare services and whether it is different from women,"
the spokesman said.
