What is anorexia nervrosa?

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.


Is anorexia internal or external?

Anorexia nervosa is an internal disorder in which the person, (who probably has no control over their lives), tries to control their appetite by extreme measure. Most of the people with the illness are women, but, it can also affect males. They might also think they are fat, even when they are very thin. Anorexia nervosa is probably a mental disorder, which might be cured by therapy and medical drugs, but, there is also the possibility that it is a physical disorder of the brain caused by a lack of zinc, deficiency of serotonin, and/or a problem with the hypothalamus gland.

You have most of the symptoms for anorexia nervosa but you don't believe you have it should you believe everybody else and get it checked?

It never hurts to have it checked out by a professional. Even if you do not think that you have anorexia, you may have partial or leading signs of a problem that could later develop into an eating disorder, so you would want to stop that befreo it potentilly gets any worse.
