Anorexia: A Pressing Issue in Modern Society
Anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight. Despite not involving a loss of appetite, individuals with anorexia actively refuse to eat properly, driven by the desire for a slimmer body. This obsession with food often leads to strict dieting and excessive exercising.
Understanding Anorexia
Individuals with anorexia have a distorted perception of their body, frequently referring to themselves as overweight regardless of actual weight loss. They may use diet pills or energy drinks to suppress hunger. Due to poor nutritional intake, anorexia sufferers often face severe health complications such as anemia, gastrointestinal issues, and osteoporosis.
Prevalence Among Teenagers
The condition is particularly prevalent among teenagers. In the United States alone, over 10 million people are affected by anorexia, with more than 90% being women. Although it is more common in young adults, it can occur at any age.
Causes and Environmental Influence
The exact causes of anorexia remain unclear. It is believed to stem from genetic predispositions triggered by environmental factors. Anorexia is more prevalent in developed societies, yet it affects individuals from various ethnicities and cultures, challenging existing environmental theories.
