Question: My 17-year-old daughter is not eating well. She constantly feels that if I eat, I will gain weight. Sometimes he even vomits after eating. Can there be any treatment for this? These symptoms point to a mental illness called bulimia nervosa. In this disease, a person experiences emotional trauma towards food. She overeats and then feels like she is losing control of her body for the act of eating. Fearing that eating will make him gain weight, he tries to expel what he has eaten (such as vomiting). These types of unhealthy eating habits can be life-threatening and require treatment. Psychological treatment can be helpful in bulimia. The main aim of the treatment is to free the person from negative thoughts about his body and eating. If your daughter continues to behave in this way, seek the help of a psychiatrist immediately. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps a person understand their negative thoughts and behaviors and teaches them how to change them. Apart from this, it is very important to consult a nutritionist. A nutritionist or dietician can prepare a diet plan. It helps in explaining the importance of food and inculcating the habit of eating a balanced diet. A person may feel lonely in this disease. So support your daughter, show love and sympathy. It is very important to talk to him constantly. Question: I am constantly angry with my son. How can it be controlled?

Notice your physical cues before anger occurs, such as increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, tightening of hands. When experiencing these signs, sit quietly for a moment. Take a deep breath. When you are angry, don't give any feedback immediately. Instead of interacting with others, take some time for yourself to find out how effective your behavior is.
