Anorexia nervosa are a complex disease. However, in most cases, it is the society that has created this disease. In a society where it is by many considered pretty to be thin, some people starve themselves to feel accepted, without knowing the consequences, and lose control. If the society stops admiring thin people, the cases of anorexia nervosa will decrease. I also believe that giving young people information about the health issues, both mental and physical, will make people be more aware of what harm uncontrolled dieting may cause, especially to a young body. I also believe that everyone who suffers from this eating disorder, should not be allowed to starve themselves to an unhealthy weight by any chance, after they've received treatment. Everyone with serious eating disorder, should get free treatment, where they have to eat a certain amount of food, and if they don't, they will be force feed in other ways. In the early stage of this treatment, the sick part of the patient will most likely fight against this, but after time he/she will feel that a relief, that no matter what they do, there is nothing they can do to change their weight. The patient's weight needs to be controlled regularly, and the weight gain will be the same, no matter what. If the weight gain is lower than expected, it is most likely because the patient have been exercising. More food will be added to the diet, and the increase of weight will be the same over time. In that way, the patient know that it doesn't help to exercise to lose weight.
It is important that these routines continues even after the patient are done with treatment at a hospital and/or a clinic. The anorexic person should regularly being weight and measured at a doctor, to make sure he/she maintain a healthy weight. If the person don't follow the diet or have been losing weight, the amount of food on the diet will be decreased. If this doesn't help, he/she will be sent to a hospital or clinic immediately to receive a weight penalty, so the anorexic person knows there's nothing they can do about their weight. If the weight is higher than expected, the doctor will tell his/her patient, and give he/she an option to lose weight. The purpose of the diet is to get the anorexic person to maintain the lowest healthy weight possible (unless the person has a wish to maintain a higher weight), and release the persons responsibility for its own weight.
This will decrease the amount of time anorexic people gets running in and out of hospitals, because they know if they lose weight, they will get a weight penalty, making their weight to increase, which they don't want to.
It may sound harsh, but it will secure anorexic people health, increasing their chance of getting better and working well in the society significantly. Some countries have tried this treatment method, with very good results and hospitals.
well it all has to do with the media. and thats never gonna change..
but we can mentor young kids in to developing good eating habits.
