eyewatch myHealth: Anorexia Nervosa

Fat, big pig, quick-sweat roundhouse, porky-looking slob blob couch potato is what 1% of the nation who suffer from anorexia nervosa see in their reflection when they look in a mirror. Not a big deal if the number is low right? Well did I also mention that number is growing?

Though some statistics have shown that 50% of girls in their mid-teens feel they are overweight, and over 60% diet, unfortunately, it is hard to determine more because so many people hide it.

Whether you are white, black, yellow, or blue, male, female, Hindu or Christian, you are not exempt from fearing the thought of gaining weight, obsessively exercising or dieting, and starving yourself. Thus, resulting in the life-threatening disease that can harm your body.

Without proper treatment, anorexia nervosa can lead to depression, phobias, panic attacks, post-tramatic stress, substance abuse, and even death.

There are many forms of treatment, including seeing a physician, receiving support from loved ones, and going to therapy. You may also consider these options.

Do you know someone who is struggling with this? Have you felt like it may be time for a change in how you view yourself?

Drop a Buzz.
