Most often, people affected by this eating disorder are aware of their problem, but too frightened or embarrassed to get help. Some people may even refuse to accept that they have a problem, though they realize that they have no control over their eating patterns. Fortunately, eating disorder treatment centers offer effective therapies for the condition. Before you provide any kind of help, you should assess how seriously anorexia has affected the person, their life, and their health.

How do anorexic people look?

Anorexia is actually not a difference in what somone sees but a feeling of self pitty and lack of worth. An anorexic doesn't see any diffrent than you do. Anorexic people can look like just your ordinary everyday person. They can also be incredibly thin or in some cases may be over weight. there is no actual "type" of image for someone who suffers with anorexia. also, they are not "anorexic" they are people who suffer from "anorexia" known as "anorexia nervosa".


Why do people judge anorexia teens?

I guess if they tease them then they are just jealous of them. For Example, If someone teased you because YOU were anerexic, you would not appreciate it but you would know they were just jealous. Although I must admit, the anorexic teenager, should probably get some help to try and gain weight, believe me I would know. I know a girl who stopped eating and went anorexic, she then got very sick and almost died! Lucky they got her to a hospital in time. Trust me, that person should not be jealous because they should know if they were anorexic, they have the chance to die. The anorexic girl could also die. Therefore, if you were a good enough friend, you would get her some help.
