Introduction
I would like to share about autophagia, an unusual and complex condition that is affecting individuals globally at the present time. Autophagia is defined as the act of eating parts of one’s body, which is usually biting, chewing, or swallowing these parts of the body. It is usually practiced on the skin, hair, nails, or even organs. I have had the opportunity to work as a doctor, and so, I have come across many cases of autophagia where I was only able to distinguish the condition after understanding its effect on the patient. Awareness of the condition is of paramount importance.
World Epidemiology
Globally, autophagia is found to be a very rare condition. Since it is a rare condition and there is a very good chance that it is very much under-reported the estimates are based. Thus, the incidence rate is not known for sure. The disorder, however, has been observed with a significantly high co-morbidity rate. Also, it is a disease that people of any age, gender, or social class can contract.
Indian Epidemiology
In India, an accurate, reliable estimate of the incidence of autophagia does not exist. But this is a rare disease which is found in all parts of the world. However, the situation in India is complicated by cultural and social factors, such as the low status associated with mental health and non-disclosure of such issues which can cause underreporting of cases in the Indian health context.
Causes of Autophagia
There are a number of possible reasons for autophagia that are complex and multifariously. Including but not limited to:
- A person suffering from a mental health condition with symptoms such as uneasiness, depression, or the like under his/her control.
- Developmental disorders
- Neurological conditions
- Stress or trauma
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Genetic predisposition
Symptoms of Autophagia
Autophagia symptoms usually contain the following manifestations:
- Munching, nibbling, or munching on the skin, hair, or nails.
- Obvious physical damage
- Self-inflicted biting that can result in scars or wounds
- A sense of shame or guilt
- Tries to hide the habit
- Anxiety or distress over the compulsion
Conventional Treatment and Side Effects
The antistress medication has made great strides and has fixed itself as an established therapy for the autophagia psychological disorder. Antidepressants often become prescribed along with other remedies or may serve as complete treatment of the mental issue. In cases where the illness has reached the transitory stage, it is enough to use the drugs for a short time.
Psychotherapy (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy)
Medication (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics)
Behavior modification techniques
Apart from the positive reaction to treatment, the medications may well be associated with the following side effects:
Medication side effects such as nausea, weight gain, or sexual dysfunction
Dependency on medication
Withdrawal symptoms as a result of discontinuation of the medication
Advantages of Homeopathy
Known as a homeopathic doctor, I have observed and practiced the benefits of the unique system of medicine that is homeopathy for the handling of autophagia for many years. However, there are several key benefits of homeopathy usage in treating this ailment. For example, the affected area is treated not only physically but emotionally as well, which is known as a holistic approach. This means that each patient is seen as a unique individual with a unique set of symptoms and his/her treatment plan is accordingly created.
Looking at the whole person and addressing the physical and emotional parts of the patient’s suffering.
The prescription is custom.
Minimal to no side effects
The patient, furthermore, holistic treatment requires him or them to develop his/her attitude toward overcoming the behavioral habit. In addition, he/she is in the position to use the medicines standardly in combination with other drugs.
