What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
From this video, I get information about what is true about the meaning of eating disorders and what is not true about eating disorders. First of all, the definition of eating disorders (ED), eating disorders are types of psychiatric conditions characterized by a predominant pattern of behavior characterized by restricting food intake, overeating, or consuming large amounts of food quickly, and wasting or eliminating calories through vomiting, drugs laxatives, excessive exercise, and other dangerous means or drugs. ED can involve any or a combination of these behaviors. For example, people with anorexia usually limit their food intake. In contrast, bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by overeating and abnormal bowel movements. The next point I got after watching and listening to this video is that we cannot conclude someone has an ED just from their weight. We can’t tell if someone has an eating disorder based on weight alone. We can’t get rid of the disorder just by eating differently. That’s because eating disorders are, at their heart, mental illnesses. Most people with eating disorders are very critical of themselves. They feel they have a lot of flaws. Sadly, medical professionals still don’t know what causes eating disorders. There is likely no single cause but a combination of contributing genetic and environmental risk factors. Sometimes it can also be affected by other mental illnesses, such as depression or anxiety can cause symptoms of eating disorders. In addition, certain psychological factors, such as perfectionism and body dissatisfaction, are also contributing factors to eating disorders.
Social factors also contributed, including the societal stigma about the ideal body shape. While the general public generally thinks that only women suffer from eating disorders, it turns out that all genders can be affected. In this case, like the existing health principle, that prevention is better than cure. Treatment for eating disorders will have a higher chance of success if started earlier after a person develops disordered eating behaviors. Unfortunately, less than half of people with eating disorders will seek and receive treatment. Because of eating disorders’ complex effects on the body and mind, treatment usually includes a combination of nutritional counseling, monitoring, and mental health. Proper treatment can reduce the chance of death from a severe eating disorder. Eating disorders can trigger a strong sense of powerlessness. Still, education for individuals, families, and communities helps erode stigma and increase access to treatment. Therefore we need to know about eating disorders to maintain health for ourselves as individual beings and become someone who can help those around us recover from this disease by supporting and supervising the recovery of sufferers in the social environment.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The definition of an eating disorder is often misunderstood. About the type of disorder the disease suffered and how to overcome it. Misconceptions about everything from symptoms to treatment make it difficult to overcome eating disorders. The speaker’s goal is to introduce a definition and discuss what is right about eating disorders and what is not right about eating disorders. The speaker hopes that the wider community can reach this information and support loved ones around them to recover from eating disorders.
How trustworthy is this video? Who is the speaker? What is the source? Do you think the source and the speaker are trustworthy?
The video is trustworthy enough; the speaker is Anees Bahji, a PGY–2 psychiatrist at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He completed his medical degree at the University of British Columbia. He really liked psychiatry. In 2019, he also published an article titled “Prevalence of substance use disorder comorbidity among individuals with eating disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis” in Psychiatry Research, volume 273 (2019). I got this source from the TED-Ed channel. This channel claims that the speakers on the channel are based on data that has survived scrutiny by experts in the field.
What the speaker’s attitude or tone towards the subject? Does he/she seem to agree or disagree with it? Explain your answer.
The speaker’s attitude in the video seems to agree with the topic title, “Why are eating disorders so hard to treat?” The speaker agreed that it is not easy to treat eating disorders. He supported the idea that the topic of introducing eating disorders should be expanded and hoped that others could easily access this important and valid information because the video was published legally on YouTube.
Does the speaker put forward valid or strong arguments? How does he/she support the key points? Explain your answer.
The speakers in the video make valid and strong arguments and medically researched claims. The speaker explained the topic coherently and clearly enough for the general audience. Some words may be less familiar because they are medical terms. The speaker conveys specific facts from research and specific examples to enhance and clarify the points made by the speaker. The speaker places supporting facts after the main points and presents data through research.
Explain how this article will help contribute to your larger group project.
Video and articles that support this video will certainly help with this project. The information provided is exciting and relatively easy to digest. Of course, having access to YouTube, which is always available, will make finding the necessary information even more effortless. I also read the article based on this video about eating disorders. The results of the meta-analysis highlight that some subtypes of eating disorders are associated with certain behaviors (e.g., binging and purging behaviors), which are associated with a higher prevalence of substance use disorder.

What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
This video helps me learn more about eating disorders, particularly anorexia. There are many eating disorders, including anorexia, but anorexia nervosa is the most well-known and prevalent. Still, it is usually referred to simply as anorexia. An intense fear of fat limits the amount and type of fat. Anorexia is a psychiatric disorder that causes the most deaths. Every 62 minutes, one person dies as a direct result of an eating disorder. Death is usually caused by suicide or organ failure, especially the heart, because the body lacks essential nutrients. Still, it is not completely clear why some people are susceptible to this disease. But several factors that make a person more susceptible to developing anorexia have personality traits. The typical age at which people begin to acquire anorexia is believed to be between 16 and 17 years old. Women and teenagers are more susceptible to developing eating disorders. Anorexia, however, is not age- or gender-specific; anybody can experience it at any moment. It is also not culturally or geographically specific. Psychological illnesses can affect everyone. It should be noted that when we start to be affected by this, it is advisable to contact loved ones and go for professional treatment. You can also start by learning more about anorexia on trusted websites. Rest assured that we are valuable and have many people who love us.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The speaker’s purpose in this video is to provide information about anorexia. In his explanation, the speaker conveyed the definition of anorexia, a type of eating disorder. Anorexics exhibit symptoms such as a fear of being overweight, unnaturally limiting the amount of food they eat, and having a wrong idea about the food they will eat. Someone suffering from anorexia will pay excessive attention to body image in comparison to their body’s optimal nutritional needs. Therefore, anorexia is also closely related to psychiatric disorders. Anorexia often affects women and teenagers, but this does not mean that men can avoid it. Suppose we need help with our eating disorders or feel obsessive about body weight and shape, which in turn causes us to damage our health. In that case, it is hoped that we could immediately handle it properly and have it handled professionally by experts.
How trustworthy is this video? Who is the speaker? What is the source? Do you think the source and the speaker are trustworthy?
This video was taken from the FuseSchool channel. Fuse Universal operates the Fuse School foundation, a non-profit arm of the organization offering educational videos to children and adults worldwide via YouTube. This video may not be trustworthy enough because there needs to be more transparency on the part of the speakers. However, I obtained the same information from other videos and great articles. That’s a sign that the information in this video can be trusted.
What the speaker’s attitude or tone towards the subject? Does he/she seem to agree or disagree with it? Explain your answer.
The speaker’s attitude towards the subject is excited and positive, and the speakers seem to agree with how dangerous anorexia is. The speakers explain many things and wrap up a simple and easy-to-understand definition of anorexia, how to recognize the behavior of anorexic sufferers, and factors that influence eating disorders. The speaker also expressed sympathy and support for the development of this topic by providing information to the general public and encouraging people to be more sensitive and self-loving, which could be interpreted as maintaining their own health. This is indicated by the speaker’s words: “Remember, there are always resources available and people willing to provide support; if you need help, want to find out if you can help others affected, or simply want to learn more about what anorexia is, there are numerous websites available to you.”
Does the speaker put forward valid or strong arguments? How does he/she support the key points? Explain your answer.
The speaker made strong arguments and used facts to support the main idea. For example, “Every 62 minutes, one person dies as a direct result from an eating disorder death is usually caused either by suicide or as a result of organ failure, typically the heart as the body lacks vital nutrients, so who can get it anyone can develop anorexia, but it’s not however entirely clear why some people are more susceptible to it than others”.
Explain how this article will help contribute to your larger group project.
This video helps me understand more about eating disorders, especially anorexia. From watching this video, I got the definition of anorexia, one type of eating disorder. To get more valid information about the anorexia material. I read an article and got the point. Whatever the truth is, the fear of weight gain has been studied primarily in people with anorexia nervosa, and results show that it is associated with higher levels of eating disorder psychopathology. (Carter & Bewell-Weiss, 2011; Santonastaso et al., 2009). This article confirms the need to monitor body-image concerns. It suggests that strategies and procedures designed to improve this feature during treatment should be enhanced in patients with anorexia nervosa. Reference: Calugi, S., Ghoch, M. E., Conti, M., & Grave, R. D. (2018). Preoccupation with shape or weight, fear of weight gain, feeling fat and treatment outcomes in patients with anorexia nervosa: A longitudinal study. Behaviour Research and Therapy, 105, 63-68. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brat.2018.04.001
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
Gabrielle Bernstein is a female who suffers from bulimia nervosa, which is an eating disorder characterized by a tendency to regurgitate food that has been eaten. In this video, she tells about how she experienced eating disorders for the first time when they started to appear. One day, when she was about 14 years old, she saw a sandwich, not like a sandwich is a food sandwich, but a sandwich is a food that contains lots of calories and carbohydrates. And the content in the sandwich will cause her to gain weight. She was doing sports in the gym to burn as many calories as possible until he became very dizzy and had difficulty maintaining stability when standing. She has experience going to a restaurant and not ordering something that seems delicious, like meat. But she only ordered a salad that didn’t even have any tasty toppings in it. No cheese, no sauce. Before eating, she thought would this food make her fat? She kept thinking about the calories in the food. Even after she was full, she would feel nauseous. She only admitted to her family that he had a stomach ache even though she could not store food in his body. She felt ashamed; she felt lacking. This disease is closely related to a mentality because Gabrielle thinks she is less good enough for anyone. She doesn’t want to confess because she’s afraid that others will treat her differently. She felt that the people around her would think she was strange for fear of being stuffed. Even though not only that, in her view, food is not just food. She could not fully control herself. If only she felt a little full, she would immediately go to the bathroom and vomit the contents of her stomach. She is afraid of society’s acceptance of her. She was worried that people would hate her and leave her. She asked herself, would anyone love her while she did not love her? She can’t open up to others about her flaws. Eventually, one day, she realized that bulimia was unhealthy; she felt that her body was damaged. Gabrielle had to make a change and do something about it; she had to learn to overcome the feeling of shame; she was still trying to do this. Sometimes she still listens to the voice in her head scream about the negative image of food, but gladly, now she pushes the negative image of food from the back of her mind. She strongly criticized the society that denounced eating disorders because eating disorders are not something simple. Society’s perspective on eating disorders, which they often misunderstand, makes Gabrielle feel ashamed, wanting to hide from society. She had already received professional bulimia treatment. She was advised that an excellent first step is essential to say the words out loud and admit her flaws. “I am bulimic, have a problem, and can get better.” And now, she’s no longer ashamed of what she’s been through, and she has become a stronger person.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The speaker’s primary purpose is to encourage someone who has bulimia that they don’t need to be ashamed of something that they had absolutely, which is no control over the eating disorder. And she doesn’t want another person to stay in the shadows as she did because of the shame she feels about having the condition. Teens who struggle with mental health issues shouldn’t have to hide because of fear of being judged by society.
How trustworthy is this video? Who is the speaker? What is the source? Do you think the source and the speaker are trustworthy?
The video and the speaker are trustworthy because the video is released by the TEDx Talks channel, which provides a video with a valid speaker who is an expert in the field. Also, they can ensure that the speaker is professional in particular things to send about their opinion and facts in the channel. The speaker, Gabrielle Bernstein, is an American author,#1 New York Times Bestselling Author, motivational speaker, and podcast host. For 20 years, she struggled with food addiction, binge eating, and body image issues. So, she’s trustworthy in talking about eating disorders, and now she’s free from bulimia since 2016.
What the speaker’s attitude or tone towards the subject? Does he/she seem to agree or disagree with it? Explain your answer.
The speaker’s attitude towards the subject is she disagrees because she wants to remove the stigma of eating disorders. For example, individuals with mental disorders are stereotyped as dangerous, childish, incompetent, and weak. People with mental illnesses may experience mixed reactions from society, including discomfort, uncertainty, and fear, in addition to sentiments of sympathy and a desire to assist them. Individuals with mental disorders were less appreciated than individuals with physical illnesses. The speaker persuades the audience to be brave and strong. She encourages the audience to open up about our food issues so we can start healing from eating disorders.
Does the speaker put forward valid or strong arguments? How does he/she support the key points? Explain your answer.
The speaker put strong arguments and provided a clear and direct connection with the main ideas. The speaker put some views to support the main idea. For example.” My eating disorder started to take control over my life when I was 14; at first, I noticed that a Sandwich was not just a sandwich anymore; instead, this sandwich was 460 calories and 26 grams of carbohydrates.”
Explain how this article will help contribute to your larger group project.
This video is essential because I can arrange more materials for my project on eating disorders. I could listen to the experience of someone who struggles with bulimia, even though I can’t listen to it directly, and I could listen through Youtube. I’m so glad I found an excellent source to complete my projects. Learning about other people’s lives also gives us positive things to be thankful for, such as our health. And if there’s something wrong with our bodies, no one except ourselves loves us dearly. So, we need to love ourselves by taking care of our bodies. In addition, I read the article titled “Stigmatization toward People with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder: A Scoping Review.” Moreover, to highlight the harmful effects of eating disorder stigma on the psychological state (such as low self-esteem and self-stigma), this article offers evidence of eating disorder stigma in the general public and among healthcare professionals. It also provides some examples of how eating disorder stigma affects people’s treatment-seeking behaviors. To prevent missed or delayed diagnoses and enhance the care of patients with eating disorders, educating the general public and healthcare professionals on the stigma associated with eating disorders appears vital. Reference: Brelet, L., Flaudias, V., Désert, M., Guillaume, S., Llorca, P. M., & Boirie, Y. (2021). Stigmatization toward People with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder: A Scoping Review. Nutrients, 13(8), 2834. doi: 10.3390/nu13082834
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
Evidence-based treatment is called family-based treatment. Family and family are whatever you define as family. So, for young children and teens, it often means the parents who live with them. We have also worked with foster parents, any adult grandparents, and guardians in the child’s life. But when you enter young adulthood, besides being a parent and a family member, it’s also a family of choice. It could be a roommate, a spouse, or a significant other. And the reason why you have to bring other people, even though nobody wants to—everyone’s like, “I want to go through this myself; I don’t want to tell anyone about it,” and there’s usually a lot of embarrassment associated with it—is that you need to bring someone to help you structure your environment for pro-health behavior. For other types of disorders, triggers may occur once a day or once a week. But for eating disorders, eating is something we really need to do often—three to six times per day—to recover from an eating disorder. We, of course, need the help of others. For example, if someone wants to vomit after eating by going to the bathroom, then with family rules, this can be avoided. Another thing Kristina revealed when she shared her personal experience was that there came a point in her life when she knew what she needed to do; she knew things that would be harmful to herself and her family. But unfortunately, signals from the brain and noisy sounds from the brain trap it in eating disorder behavior. And from there, she thought she needed to fight back and heal herself. What needs to be done for the first time is to change the mindset for the better and pay attention to behavior by starting to eat regularly, even before we want it. The importance of assisting friends with eating disorders stems from the fact that this disease is difficult to treat on one’s own. Therefore, instead of telling someone who suffers from an eating disorder about appearance, weight, or food, it would be better to let them know that we are worried about their news. Perhaps ask them questions about whether they smiled today?
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The speaker’s purpose is to provide information on how to help someone with an eating disorder and give more information about evidence-based treatments, especially family-based treatment and peer and family support for eating disorders.

Yes, the speaker put strong arguments while delivering the information. They support the key points by giving examples and telling the audience about their experience handling the eating disorders patient.
Explain how this article will help contribute to your larger group project.
It’s beneficial. I watched and listened to this video carefully and thought critically after watching this. Before listening to this video, I have a question inside my head, “Is that really important to have another person deal with eating disorders?” “How can we help someone overcome this eating disorder?” And after watching and listening to this video, I found the answer and got many new knowledge and ideas from the video. I’m sure about the validity of this video to make this video as a reference because the speaker is trustworthy in talking about eating disorders. They’re from Equip, and Equip was built by clinical experts in the eating disorder field and people in a lasting recovery.
What is being discussed in the video? Explain your answer.
This video provide information about the difference types between eating disorders and what are the diagnostics criteria for each eating disorders. I learned and listened to confessions from some people with eating disorders. An eating disorder characterized by this is represented by feeling tired quickly, frequent stomach ulcers, shortness of breath, hands constantly freezing, lips turning blue, heartbeat not working, and having a sense of shame, so they don’t hang out with their friends. Again, they don’t enjoy life like they used to, and it is hard to concentrate and sleep. The sufferers of eating disorders then explained their type of disease. Namely the first is anorexia nervosa. This disorder is dictated by food restrictions relative to what the body needs, which causes a person’s weight to be meager. They have a very irregular body image and an intense fear of gaining weight. They will do anything to avoid gaining weight while not recognizing how badly they are damaging their bodies. Second, there is a bulimic nervosa who explains that they will eat so much food in a short time and will eat so much. They find it difficult to control themselves and will; as a result, they will clean it up by throwing up food, exercising excessively, and abusing diet pills. The third, binge eating disorder, eating occurs in the absence of compensatory behavior once a week for at least three months; it occurs in episodes of eating rapidly when not hungry until extreme fullness. It’s also associated with depression, guilt, and/or shame; binge eating occurs in people of all sizes. The fourth, void and restrictive food intake disorder, they didn’t have any weight or shape concerns, but they restricted their caloric intake to the point where they lost a significant amount of weight; their nutritional deficiency was so severe that they couldn’t keep their job or maintain friendships.
What is the speaker’s main purpose? Explain your answer.
The speaker’s main purpose is to provide information about the differences between the types of eating disorders and what symptoms sufferers experience. The speaker also reminded us not to underestimate a regular diet. Because irregular eating patterns are terrible, when something is wrong with the body, it would be best to check yourself before the disease worsens. Whether it’s a symptom of the body or mental, it should not be underestimated.
How trustworthy is this video? Who is the speaker? What is the source? Do you think the source and the speaker are trustworthy?
Yes, this video is very trustworthy because it is explained directly by the sufferer who has undergone professional treatment. The speaker has shared his own experience when experiencing eating disorders. And also, this video was published by the National Eating Disorders Association channel. The National Eating Disorders Association is an American non-profit organization dedicated to preventing eating disorders, providing treatment referrals, and increasing the education and understanding of eating disorders, weight, and body image.
What the speaker’s attitude or tone towards the subject? Does he/she seem to agree or disagree with it? Explain your answer.
The speaker towards the subject seem to agrees that it is suitable for society to understand eating disorders. Eating disorders require much attention because they are closely related to everyday life. Human activities will never be separated from eating activities. And when there is something strange in our eating behavior. Then it must be immediately identified whether there are things that need to be repaired by us.
Does the speaker put forward valid or strong arguments? How does he/she support the key points? Explain your answer.
Yes, the speaker presented a valid and strong argument. They tell the truth about the symptoms of eating disorders. They explain examples and types of eating disorders as supporting key points about eating disorders.
Explain how this article will help contribute to your larger group project.
This video helped me with my project because it included the information I needed as well as giving me more insight into people with eating disorders and how to face the disadvantages caused by this disease. Also, as a reminder to others, maintain a good diet. After watching this video, I really realize that it is important for us to maintain a healthy diet, provide nutrition to the body with nutritious intakes, and manage our psyche properly by always including other people when we need help.
