SummaryIn a society that is becoming more commercialist and consumer-driven, it is inevitable that standards of beauty become the focus of many, especially women who are the general targets of many advertisements and products. It is because of the prevalence of the idea that “thin is in” that many become anorexics and/or bulimics. Anorexia Nervosa is considered a serious mental illness, and is classified as an eating disorder under the American Psychiatric Society’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) and the World Health Organization’s International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. It is generally characterized by very low body weight and the individual’s idea that such body image should be maintained (Wikipedia 2008). As it is a disorder, society generally considers those with anorexia to be not normal, and should be admitted for treatment and/or rehabilitation.
