1. Although this is an issue that everyone will never agree on. I can understand how people may feel like suicide is the only way out, but I look at it from a selfish perspective when the individual decides to take his life. The pain that is left behind can be unbearable. If a parent commits suicide, a child that is left behind could grow up thinking he was not enough or the parent did not love him enough to stay. The child could grow up thinking that his parent left him. It could cause a domino effect for generations to come if the issue is not resolved with the person. There are many triggers that could lead to suicide such as stress, being isolated, illness or abuse (Comer, 2018). There is always a bigger picture. What are your thoughts? Have you ever had to experience encouraging someone to choose to live? Thanks for your response.

2. There is no acceptable reason why people commit suicide, but the person who does it feels like they have no other answer to the way they feel. They possibly feel that they are trapped and cant breath, many people who commit suicide as an escape goat, they feel like they are hurting so deep and that they are in the darkest place and no one can save them. And there is no stopping someone if they don't want to be alive anymore they will end their life. You can try to convince them they are worth it, and you love them. In their mind its not enough. The only real help is therapy and meds to try to manage their thoughts of suicide and hope they get help. Many want to get help but don't know how to come out of the darkness.

3. I would say that there is never an acceptable reason for someone to commit suicide. But people think that with different situations, it is the way to go. If someone is in a lot of pain with cancer, I could understand the wanting no more suffering part. If someone hears voices and they want to be done with that say with schizophrenia, they may commit suicide (Comer, 2018).There are times when people feel like there is no other answer when they are really sick or elderly (Comer, 2018). Our textbook says that the sole purpose of suicide is to end the life (Comer, 2018). Talk to them and see what is going and encourage them to seek help. We should always try to stop others from ending their life. After all, it is just that, a life.

4. I like how you mentioned the difference with the two disorders and how they are different food behaviors. These two disorders are the same because they both involve the person wanting to lose weight but in different ways. The symptoms can seem pretty similar with these two because they focus on the person either eating too much or very little. I think it is a good thing to understand the difference between these two because by knowing the difference you can help someone. I like how you mentioned that social pressure can lead to these disorders. This is so true because so many young girls focus on social media and how girls are so "skinny" and they have to be like them. Do you think social media today is doing a good job portraying models who are not a size 0 and helping everyone feel good about their bodies now?

5. Society is obsessed with being thin. People are of the perception that being thin is being healthy and beautiful. A person with the disorder of bulimia nervosa has the following: 1) repeated episodes of binge eating and 2) repeatedly forcing herself to vomit. This is to prevent weight gain and the symptoms occur at least weekly for about 3 months (Comer, 2018). A person with anorexia nervosa is 1) purposefully eating too little which results in a low weight 2) is fearful of gaining weight and will seek ways to prevent weight gain and 3) has a twisted perception of her body. There are two goals to treat eating disorders. The first is to correct the individual's eating pattern. The second is to focus on the psychological and situational factors that led to and continue the eating problem (Comer, 2018). Eating disorders are hard to treat, therefore, multiple modalities should be considered in a treatment plan ("Topic 4 Resource," 2018). Bulimia and anorexia are the same in which 90-95% of females experience these disorders. The main feature that is the same in each disorder is the constant over-concern with the size of her body and her weight ("Topic 4 Resource," 2018). Compulsive overeating, purging and dieting can be symptoms of both disorders. The difference between anorexia and bulimia is the mortality rate. The mortality rate in anorexia is higher than bulimia although it is a dangerous disorder that can cause health problems ("Topic 4 Resource," 2018).

6. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are the most common clinically recognized eating disorders. Those with anorexia have a tendency to skip meals, adopt highly restrictive and unhealthy diets, obsess over thinness and food, and present abnormal eating habits or rituals. Bulimia presents itself in the form of binging, or overeating, followed by purging, often either by vomiting or using laxatives. It is possible for a person to suffer from both disorders at the same time. one may also suffer from body dysmorphia and see herself as being "fat," even when extremely underweight (Comer, 2018). There is no clear cure for either disorder, both of which primarily affect young women, but treatment is available and can result in full recovery for some. Ongoing treatment efforts and awareness are necessary to maintain health.
