This article examines the link between loneliness and eating disorders. This concept is evaluated through a systematic review of the literature that links loneliness and eating disorders and through a survey of themes connecting the 2 conditions. Eating disorders-including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and eating disorders that are not otherwise specified, which include binge eating disorder-are challenging health issues. Each of these diagnoses specifically relates to loneliness. This negative emotion contributes to and fuels eating disorder symptoms. Negative interpersonal relationships, both real experiences and individuals' skewed perceptions, exacerbate eating disorders and feelings of loneliness. Characteristics that have been associated with loneliness clearly relate to eating disorders. Understanding this relationship is vital, so that we can appreciate our patients' struggles and work to target these intense emotions within the treatment setting. We need to be aware of the power of loneliness as it applies to individuals in general and specifically to those struggling with disordered eating.
这篇文章探讨了孤独感与饮食失调之间的联系。通过对将孤独感与饮食失调联系起来的文献进行系统回顾，以及对连接这两种情况的主题进行调查，评估了这一概念。饮食失调包括神经性厌食症、神经性贪食症和未特指的饮食失调，其中包括暴食障碍，这些都是具有挑战性的健康问题。这些诊断中的每一种都与孤独感密切相关。这种负面情绪会导致和加剧饮食失调症状。负面的人际关系，无论是真实的经历还是个体的扭曲感知，都会使饮食失调和孤独感恶化。与孤独感相关的特征显然与饮食失调有关。了解这种关系至关重要，这样我们才能理解患者的挣扎，并努力在治疗环境中针对这些强烈的情绪进行治疗。我们需要意识到孤独感的力量，无论是对一般人，还是对那些与饮食失调作斗争的人来说，都是如此。
