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.
because people like me ... we hate food its our worst enemy your staving yourself ... to become thinner you cant just become Anorexic you know ... its a decease in the mind. you don't just become it some are born with it! if you want to be anorexic you will be a wanmanorexic anorexic is a mental condition in the brain where as a wannanoriexic isn't it means you want the decease. or to be like one.
Anorexia and bulimia are very serious eating disorders. People who are anorexic or bulimic can lose as much or as little weight possible. Some people can be 10 pounds underweight, some can be 40 pounds underweight. If you know someone who is anorexic or bulimic tell them that you are worried about them and strongly encourage them to get professional help.
Anorexic people have aversions to food because they think they are "fat" of over-weight. Some will drink coffee without cream or sugar.
You don't. Being anorexic is not healthy, and one can not look anorexic without being anorexic, or having some other health problem. Even a lot of exercise will not actually make you look anorexic, unless you're body starts autocannibalizing itself.
it is going round that he is anorexic, some people are saying yes he his because his mum posted it on his twitter but other people will say no. no one knows the real truth.
Not really now to many but there is some people who are anorexic but not many
Yes, some people are started out as fat, but if your not fat is is likely that you will become scrawny. Also some people can eat or starve for long periods of time and not change in size. (THIS SHOULDN'T INSPIRE PEOPLE TO BECOME ANOREXIC)
There are some really great clinics that you can go to that are designed just for people with eating disorders. I used to be anorexic myself so I know what you are going through. I am so very proud of you for wanting to get help. I did not make that decision on my own like you. I was told that I had to get help. God Bless you!:) If you need to e-mail me my e-mail address is tinathach@yahoo.com.
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".
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.
Yes and no. Depending on what type of media, some people are influenced more than others.
the veronicas are not anorexic. they are just naturally thin although they did lose some weight in 2008. they are not anorexic though.
