Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is a nervous and psychological eating disorder characterized by refusal to stay at even the minimum body weight considered normal for the person's age and height. Other symptoms of the disorder include an intense fear of weight gain and distorted body image. Inadequate eating or excessive exercising results in severe weight loss.
Causes, Incidence and Risk factors
The exact cause of anorexia nervosa is not known, but social attitudes towards body appearance and family factors, play a role in its development. The condition usually occurs in adolescence or young adulthood.
A few experts suggested that conflicts within a family contribute to this eating disorder. It is thought that anorexia is a way for a child to draw attention away from marital problems, for example, bring the family back together.
Other psychologists suggested that anorexia may be an attempt by young women to gain control and separate from their mothers. The causes, however, are still not well understood.
