Thanks to this complete postgraduate certificate, you will start to intervene in patients with eating disorders in a much better way, since you will know the specific characteristics of their personality”

Individual traits play an important role in the development of eating disorders. ¿Are some people more prone to suffer from them than others? ¿Does gender have any part to play? ¿And cultural aspects?

In fact, it is estimated that, per 100,000 inhabitants, 30 to 40 women between 15 and 25 years of age will typically suffer from an eating disorder. There really is a growing cultural shift in the concern with food and thinness. Studies carried out in the USA in 1978 showed that 45% of housewives went on a diet every year; that 56% of women between 25-54 years of age went on a diet; that 76% of women who went on a diet did so more for aesthetic reasons than for health reasons.

Until 1950 there were about 200 recorded cases of AN. Today, there are hundreds of thousands. Social phenomena may explain the possible risk of the incidence of AN. The increasing liberation of women has sometimes paradoxically led some of them to reject feminism and becoming adults, longing to be children in the face of the difficult struggle of AN against the needs of dependency.

In the USA, billions of dollars are spent annually on dieting and 1 in 10 girls suffer from an eating disorder. One in every 250 teenage girls has AN. At least 3.5 million people, predominantly women, are suffering from bulimia.

Taking into consideration all the above data, this postgraduate certificate will focus on providing the professional with the skills and knowledge to intervene and work with patients with eating disorders, establishing the action plan according to the characteristics of their personality.
