| Publisher Description: Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder and a serious mental health condition.People with anorexia have problems with eating. They are very anxious about their weight and keep it as low as possible by strictly controlling and limiting what they eat. Many people with anorexia will also exercise excessively to lose weight.It is thought that people with anorexia are so concerned about their weight because they: think they are fat or overweighthave a strong fear of being fatwant to be thinEven when a person with anorexia becomes extremely underweight, they still feel compelled to lose more weight.Though people with anorexia avoid eating food whenever they can, they also develop an obsession with eating and diet. For example, they may obsessively count the calories in different types of foods even though they have no intention of eating it.Some people with anorexia will also binge eat, i.e. they eat a lot of food in a short space of time. They then try to get rid of the food from their body by vomiting or using laxatives (medication that causes the bowels to empty; normally used for the treatment of constipation.)The symptoms of anorexia usually begin gradually, such as adopting a restrictive diet. They then often spiral out of control quickly.People who have anorexia try to keep their weight as low as possible by not eating enough food or exercising too much, or both. This can make them very ill because they start to starve.They often have a distorted image of their bodies, thinking they are fat even when they are underweight.Men and women of any age can get anorexia, but it's most common in young women and typically starts in the mid-teens.According to the Association for Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), a staggering 30 million people across the U.S. suffer from an eating disorder. This statistic applies to all ages, race, and genders, although it is mostly seen in females.The statistics surrounding anorexia from there do not get any better, and in fact, they are pretty horrifying, with eating disorders holding the highest mortality rates of any other mental illness, it stands to reason that people are now looking to potential alternative treatments for the disease |
