Anorexia

Anorexia

Anorexia is a disorder of self starvation where the person refuses to keep a
normal weight for the persons age and height.  They have a big fear of
becoming fat even if they are underweight.  The term anorexia means “loss
of appetite”.  Anorexic patients typically come from white, middle class
families.  While trying to gain perfection and approval a person with
anorexia may begin to diet so that they can lose a few pounds.  But the
dieting doesn’t stop there and an obsession with weight is established. 
Nobody knows what causes this but losing 5 or 10 pounds isn’t enough.  Its
common for the anorexic person to starve herself until she weights 50 or
60 pounds.  When she is starving herself she will deny being hungry or
claim to be full after eating just a few bites.  Most researchers agree that
the number of patients with anorexia is increasing and they say that 1 out
of every 200 American girls between the ages of 12 to 18 will develop
anorexia.  Therapists find that people with anorexia have low self-esteem
and feel they can gain admiration by losing weight and becoming thin. 
Most anorexic patients are female and about 6 percent are boys.
