Anorexia nervosa is starving yourself to the point of either death or long term disability. It is probably a psychological illness that effects mainly women (and some men), that is caused when females think they are too fat or when they feel they have no control in their lives and the only thing they can control is their appetite. There may be psychical causes of the illness, such as a problem with glands, but, most think it is a mental illness. It takes a lot of therapy to save a person who is anorexic. Many die, directly from the disease, or indirectly from the medical problems the illness causes. Anorexia was unknown to the general public, until February 4 1983, when world famous Karen Carpenter, singer/drummer of the 1970s group the Carpenters, died from cardiac arrest due to anorexia nervosa.
