Resumen
Los Trastornos de la Conducta Alimentaria (TCA) constituyen una problemática a nivel mundial cuya incidencia ha ido incrementándose de forma significativa en los últimos años, especialmente en adolescentes y jóvenes pertenecientes al sexo femenino. Son muchos los factores de riesgo que contribuyen al desarrollo y mantenimiento de estos trastornos, siendo posible afirmar la presencia de un origen multicausal. Los TCA se han asociado con una peligrosa comorbilidad médica y/o psiquiátrica y con elevadas tasas de mortalidad, siendo aún más significativas para anorexia nerviosa, por lo que múltiples investigaciones han hecho especial hincapié en los distintos programas de prevención y tratamientos, destacando la efectividad de la terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC) y la terapia familiar. Los TCA también se encuentran íntimamente ligados a importantes alteraciones neurobiológicas, destacando entre ellas la evidente alteración en los niveles de serotonina y dopamina.
Eating Disorders (ED) are a worldwide problem, whose incidence has increased significantly in recent years, especially amongst adolescents and young women. Many risk factors contribute to the development and maintenance of these disorders, it being possible to affirm the presence of a multicausal origin. Eating Disorders have been associated with dangerous medical and/or psychiatric comorbidity and with high mortality rates, being even more significant for anorexia nervosa, so multiple investigations have placed special emphasis on different prevention programs and treatments, highlighting the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and family therapy. Eating Disorders are also intimately linked to severe neurobiological alterations, including the evident alteration in serotonin and dopamine levels.
