I can only feel pity for these guys. Here we are trying to lose weight and they are the ones who need to gain weight but refuse to eat. It's terrible but I am glad that it can be cured. The only problem is that if it's not dealt quickly it can cost them their lives

Hmm good subject. I think that it's because of our society. By that I mean that with all these publicities and the hype about being thin and look like those stars on Tv have created a lot of stress in the young generations so it is not a surprise to see this problem rising nowadays

I don't know. These guys much have a mental problem or something. I mean how could you think that you are fat when you are almost like a skeleton? There must be something wrong right? That's why a psychologist have to take care of these guys

Well apart from Anorexia and Bullemia there is also Binge eating which is very dangerous too. Binge eating disorder is characterized by consuming large quantities of food in a very short period of time until the individual is uncomfortably full.

Binge eating disorder is much like bulimia except the individuals do not use any form of purging (i.e. vomiting, laxatives, fasting, etc.) following a binge. Individuals usually feel out of control during a binge episode, followed by feelings of guilt and shame.

Many individuals who suffer with binge eating disorder use food as a way to cope with or block out feelings and emotions they do not want to feel. Individuals can also use food as a way to numb themselves, to cope with daily life stressors, to provide comfort to themselves or fill a void they feel within. Like all eating disorders, binge eating is a serious problem but can be overcome through proper treatment.

Hey Pink I think that I can explain Bulimia to you. Bulimia, also called bulimia nervosa, is a psychological eating disorder. Bulimia is characterized by episodes of binge-eating followed by inappropriate methods of weight control (purging). Inappropriate methods of weight control include vomiting, fasting, enemas, excessive use of laxatives and diuretics, or compulsive exercising.

Excessive shape and weight concerns are also characteristics of bulimia. A binge is an episode where an individual eats a much larger amount of food than most people would in a similar situation. Binge eating is not a response to intense hunger. It is usually a response to depression, stress, or self esteem issues. During the binge episode, the individual experiences a loss of control. However, the sense of a loss of control is also followed by a short-lived calmness. The calmness is often followed by self-loathing. The cycle of overeating and purging usually becomes an obsession and is repeated often.
