Anorexia can start out as wanting to emulate others and be "ideal in the eyes of others", or be the perfect weight, or simply to take control of ones life. But whatever it starts out from, it does develop as one of the most dangerous diseases there is. I had bulimia as a teenager. I came through it. I was strong enough. My daughter, has anorexia. She is a smart (A-stream academically), and rather beautiful girl. She is hospitalized now, medically stable, but mentally unwell. YES technically it is a disease as the brain chemistry has been changed drastically. This mental illness is seen as a disease, as it has the highest death rate of any other mental illness. It kills. Fact.
This is bull. Anorexia is a mental illness. Severe cases are rarely imitating the fashion industry or an attempt to "imitate others." If I wanted to look like a model, I would have stopped 40 pounds ago. No model, Photoshopped or not, looks like a concentration camp victim. Stop calling teenage dieting anorexia. I'm sorry you have body image issues, but that's not a disease. Destroying your life, your kidneys, your heart, your bones - that's not born from s desire to look like Heidi Klum, who is the picture of health compared to most severely anorexic women.
