Cоnsidering the 4 Ps аnd the cаse оf Brоoke: Brooke is а 17-year-old female who was brought to the outpatient clinic by her mother who complained that her daughter has been demonstrating unusual eating patterns for the past year. Her mother stated that she has observed Brooke to eat large amounts of food at dinner followed by generous portions of desserts “…without gaining any weight!” She also has found multiple candy and food wrappers when cleaning her daughter’s bedroom. She noted that Brooke frequently isolates herself in the upstairs bathroom for 10-20 minutes after a large meal and she is worried that her daughter may be engaging in vomiting after these episodes of heavy eating. When Brooke was asked by the intake staff about her eating habits, she reluctantly admitted to a “…loss of control.” She described feeling deep remorse when she cannot control her food intake. Furthermore, she described feeling so consumed with fears about gaining weight that she purposefully induces vomiting at will “…about once every other day.” Brooke stated that this act provides her “…tremendous” relief. She detailed a pattern of morning food restriction followed by eating out of control followed by self-induced vomiting, noting that she felt these behaviors were an effective way of controlling her weight. She admitted that she is unhappy with her overall appearance and feels that she is “…fat” and “…out of shape.” Brooke admitted that she is preoccupied with her appearance and says that she checks the size of her hips in the mirror and compares herself to other women “…all day long.” She also admitted to feeling sad some days, although she indicated she feels “numb” to these feelings when she is eating out of control. She endorsed experiencing occasional missed menstrual periods, decreased interest in sexual activity, low energy, and intermittent sore throat. Historically, Brooke recalled memories of a chaotic childhood. She is an only child whose parents fought often and finally divorced when she was 9 years old. Brooke remembered the first time she induced vomiting was at 10 years old. She gagged herself with a toothbrush after she felt “…too full and uncomfortable after eating a large meal” which resulted in “…feeling much better, almost exhilarated.” Mother described her daughter as having few friends and as tending to isolate herself. However, the mother also described her as very bright; in fact, she will most likely be the valedictorian of her graduating high school class. On physical examination, the patient’s blood pressure is 90/60, heart rate is 100, and BMI is 19. Her oropharynx appears mildly swollen without areas of erosion. However, tooth enamel was compromised, quite obviously in some areas. Bilateral parotid enlargement with minor tenderness is present. On mental status examination, Brooke presents as an adolescent female with average body physique and pale skin. She was meticulously dressed and groomed. She answered questions curtly, made poor eye contact, and demonstrated mild foot tapping throughout the interview. Her mood was anxious and her affect was restricted and somewhat negative though her mood did not meet criteria for MDD. She was highly articulate and very methodical about her statements, often taking time to clarify what she “…really means.” There was no history of hallucination or delusion. She denied history of suicidal thoughts or suicide attempt. Consider Brooke’s case and provide two specific factors for each of the 4 Ps below - no need for full sentences, these can be bullet points: Predisposing: Precipitating: Perpetuating: Protective:
