YES!!!!! With anorexia the body is essentially in starvation mode, so after the body is done feeding on the muscle and the fat (in that order), it will then feed on the organs (because they too are muscles - heart). Here are the effects of eating disorders: -Irregular heart beat -Kidney Failure -Cardiac Arrest -Osteoporosis -DEATH! And many many more that cannot even be named - it destroys the body!
People of any race or ethnic group can suffer from psychological problems or mental illness such as the ones you mention, anorexia, cutting, and bulimia. These things are not about race. Rather than describing them as multiracial problems I would call them human problems.
People suffering from anorexia often don't believe they are suffering and are losing weight to a dangerously low level. You need to take note of what your friends say, and seek medical help.

The common medical symptom of loss of appetite is called "anorexia".This is often confused by some people's use of the word "Anorexia" to mean Anorexia Nervosa, which is a diagnosed condition with components requiring intervention in both medical and psychological disciplines. Sometimes you must determine by context which is being referenced.Examples:"Doctor, I'm just not feeling well, I'm not hungry and I get tired easily," said the woman."How long have you had this anorexia, and have you also had weight loss?" asked the doctor."My sister has finally accepted treatment for her Anorexia at a specialized treatment center for Anorexics, she is down to 88 pounds now.""Our facility is specialized in the treatment of Anorexia Nervosa.""Some of the early symptoms of clinical depression are: lack of interest in normal activities, hypersomnolence, anorexia (or increased appetite and binging), fatigue, and inattention to appearance and hygiene.""Poor Bob was diagnosed with cancer. The first sign he had of anything wrong was when he began losing weight due to severe anorexia and nausea."See the link below for more information about the symptom of anorexia and about the condition of Anorexia Nervosa.
