- Medical Weight LossThese are psychogenic-caused behavioral syndromes associated with eating disorders. The most common disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and psychogenic overeating. Anorexia nervosa is characterized by a deliberate weight loss that is caused or maintained by the person. Moreover, he or she has a distorted image of his or her own body, which often leads to an extreme degree of thinness and disruption of the internal organs. With bulimia nervosa, a person is overly concerned about the weight of his or her own body, there are often repeated bouts of overeating, which lead him or her to take extreme measures – inducing vomiting or taking laxatives. With psychogenic overeating, a person is inclined to eat food in a state of sadness, fatigue, severe emotional shock, without feeling hungry and not controlling the amount of food eaten.
