Anorexia Nervosa


Strange disorders have always fascinated me everything from rare sleeping disorders to abnormal skin tones. However, one topic that has always intrigued me is anorexia nervosa.

 Due to my weight individuals who don’t know how fast my metabolism is assume I am anorexic and perhaps that is why I am intrigued by this topic because it fascinates me the various ways an individual can become anorexic.

Psychological and physical are the main components that seem to motivate victims to seek desperate measures to be thin. Some derive from trying to look like the model in the magazine, others from being told to lose weight for an activity, while others want to control something in their life because they feel it is chaotic and their weight is the easiest to control; however it can also be the deadliest.

According to the Web MD online the section of Anorexia Nervosa Overview, “Eating disorders are complex, and experts don't really know what causes them. But they may be due to a mix of family history, social factors, and personality traits.” Majority of the cases according to this article say the problem begins with dieting and taken to an extreme; when individuals are thin they still see an obese individual in the mirror and continue with taking the dieting and exercise to a higher extreme.

Any sort of eating disorder is a serious problem and should not be an issue taken lightly or joked about. If you know someone with this issue contact a local center or you can go to this website to find a center near you. http://www.eatingdisordertreatment.com/
