Anorexia nervosa is a very serious illness that has a wide range
of effects on the body and mind. It is also associated with other problems,
ranging from frequent infections and general poor health to life-threatening
conditions. Some researchers believe that it should not be approached as a
simple eating disorder but as a serious condition requiring staging according
to severity.
At this time, no treatment program for anorexia nervosa is
completely effective. Recovery rates vary between 23 - 50%, and relapses range
from 4 - 27%. Recovery takes an average of 5 - 6 years from the time of
diagnosis. Up to 30% of patients do not recover.
Even after treatment and weight gain, many patients continue to
display characteristics of the disorder, including perfectionism and a drive
for thinness, which could keep them at risk for recurrence.
Some research suggests that anorexia nervosa has the highest death
rate of any psychiatric disorder.
This problem is severe, yet many people choose to be effected
by it, to look perfect or in general for their profession. The main reason being to fit the image of a perfect woman.
Anorexia is not an eating disorder, but more of a severe psychiatric
disorder, treatment lies in getting into the head of a brainwashed female and
getting her back to her healthy lifestyle. If that fails then a life full of
sufferings awaits her: heart problems, reproductive problems and the list
continues.
