Question : Eating dissorders info 4 U!!!!!?
Eating disorders are big deals with teenage girls and boys. Some people have a weight of sixty pounds and less. People are considered anorexic when you can see their ribs or they are really skinny when you see their bones a lot. friends or family see that a person who is close to them is very skinny and is anorexic, they should take action and tell a doctor for them to get some help because being so skinny is not healthy and is not a very pretty site. There are several eating disorders like anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge-Eating Disorder. Over 10 million kids have eating disorders and some don’t make it. An eating disorder should be dealt with because it is a very scary and dramatic thing. It is a life and death situation at times! People put themselves threw this cause in their head they look different to what we see them as. They look in the mirror and they see themselves big fat and ugly. So they go on diets and they are already very skinny. You should help them become healthy again so they can be happy.

If you think that a person close to you or even maybe a neighbor or a friend has an eating disorder these are some signs you should look for:
•A large loss of weight
•Sub conscious of food
•Dramatic appearance change
•Subconscious of calories
•Extreme exercise
•Skipping meals frequently
•Lack of energy
•Thoughts of death
•Saying that they are fat a lot
•Depression
If you see some of these signs frequently, approach the person and ask them if they would like some help or let them come out to you and ask for help. There are treatments and recovery programs. Some people take Psychological treatment where they get to clear there head and talk to a person who will help them and make them see that there not fat and they don’t need to go on these starving diets that can be life threatening. Some may take therapy with family and friends or a co-worker or a group of some kind. Talk in a group and express how they feel and solve there issues. Also there is one treatment that should only be taken when it becomes to a point of life and death, Hospital Based Care where you go into a hospital and you stay in there for a while and you get regular check ups and what not. Many people wish eating disorder can go away in a night. But life isn’t like that, it will be a very hard and long process but at the end of the road you can say that you survived an eating disorder and you are healthy.
