Very few anorexics actually take treatment. Many do not seek treatment or keep their disorders a secret for so long. Some are able to recover on their own, though, which is a positive hope for all suffering from the disorder. Only about 20% of diagnosed anorexics recieve treatment. A larger percent recieve treatment initially, but are forced to stop treatment either by personal choice, medical proxy, or because they cannot afford it/insurance runs out, meaning that they do not recieve full treatment.
