Some do and some don't. A problem many have is accepting it. Having anorexia implies that you have sort of lost control over "dieting", in a sense. Most anoriexics feel they have contorl and order over their bodies, and that they aren't in any real danger from the eating diorder at all. Sometimes, anorexics are in denial and don't want to "know" or accept that they have it. Most, however, have some knowledge - even if it's in the far back of their minds - that they have some sort of problem.
Most people are conscious. It is possible for someone to not know the official name of the disease, however, and instead only be conscious of their efforts to lose weight in this particular manner.
People say, they do not know. They know.
Anorexia is NOT a disease - it is a psychological condition. You cannot 'catch' Anorexia from a sufferer !

Millions. An exact number is hard to place, as not all cases go reported. Also, many people may die of complications from anorexia, and not the actually disease itself. Of those affecteds with anorexia, about 20% will ultimately die from the disease or from a complication realted to anorexia.
