Prevention Definition: Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by refusal to maintain a minimally accepted body weight, intense fear of weight gain, and distorted body image. Inadequate calorie intake or excessive energy expenditure results in severe weight loss (see also bulimia and intentional weight loss Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The exact cause of anorexia nervosa is not known, but social attitudes towards body appearance and family factors are believed to play a role in its development. The condition usually occurs in adolescence or young adulthood. It is more common in women, affecting 1-2% of the female population and only 0.1-0.2% of males. Anorexia nervosa is seen mainly in Caucasian women who are high academic achievers and have a goal-oriented family or personality. Some experts have suggested that conflicts within a family may contribute to this eating disorder. It is thought that anorexia is a way for a child to draw attention away from marital problems, for example, and bring the family back together. Other psychologists have suggested that anorexia may be an attempt by young women to gain control and separate from their mothers. The causes, however, are still not well understood.

Eating Disorders: A Jungian Interpretation An exploration into anorexia nervosa through the media of mythology, fairy tales and psychology of C.G. Jung. http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Chateau/3349/Alice.html
Extractions: When Alice retired to her room to do her lessons she went to the window to look outside. The clouds were just parting revealing a dark moon hanging in a starry sky. The last of the leaves were falling from the trees and drifting across the lane under the light of the gas lamp. It had been a stormy evening and the weather was turning colder. Alice lit several candles and peered into her looking-glass. While she sat there gazing deeply into the looking-glass she began to fantasize that her looking-glass was a portal into another world where everything was turned around backwards from the ordinary world. She particularly liked to imagine that her looking-glass was a doorway that lead backwards in time. Then, suddenly, she thought to herself, "if only I could find the key to unlock the door I could enter that strange world." Alice had always fantasized that her looking-glass possessed a spirit like the looking-glass in the Snow White story. Each evening Alice would light several candles and peer deeply into the looking-glass and ask the fateful question, "Who is the fairest of them all?" Although Alice thought she heard the faint whisperings of spirits, she knew that it was all make-believe, but her fantasies are what made her ordinary life seem worth living. Despite Alice's cheerful demeanour, she was painfully aware of the tragic thread that ran through the fabric of all life, which sometimes made her ordinary life seem stupid and cruel.
Extractions: Die Letalität wird in Längsschnittuntersuchungen zwischen 5 und 18% angegeben. Die Prognose bei Spontanverläufen ist schlecht. Neben der hohen Letalität chronifiziert die Anorexie bei etwa 40%, bei 20-30% kommt es zu einer "Spontanheilung" bezogen auf den Gewichtsverlust, schwere Störungen im psychischen und sozialen Bereich bleiben jedoch bestehen. In den letzten Jahrzehnten nahm die Behandlung von Pat mit AN stark zu. Die Zunahme der Prävalenz dürfte auch auf eine stärkere Betroffenheit niedererer sozialer Schichten und des ländlichen Raumes zurückzuführen sein.

The Picture Of Anorexia T he picture of anorexia has become more complex than ever before. The problems of anorexia lie deep within the individual; anyone who denies this does http://www.trincoll.edu/zines/tj/tj10.24.96/articles/cover.html
Extractions: The Picture of Anorexia he picture of anorexia has become more complex than ever before. Social and political factors can not be ignored when looking at the moldings of anorexia they are not the only factors that allow anorexia to manifest. The problems of anorexia lie deep within the individual; anyone who denies this does not understand the disease. This account is based solely on personal experience. There was no time during this sickness that my mind and body were at ease, instead they were competing with each other. My brain trying to tell my body that it was starving to death and my body not allowing the food to enter. Food became my enemy not because I hated it so much but because I loved it and I was not allowing myself to enjoy it. At one point I was popping about six laxatives a day to ensure that what little food I was consuming would come right back out. My weight plummeted quickly and I was pleased. I had entered a continuously destructive cycle that I wasn't allowed to break out of. I lost interest in boys. I felt ill at the idea of getting close enough to anyone that they would want to see and touch my body since that was the part of me that I disassociated myself with. Even though I was very thin I didn't want to be judged by them. To have them say that my body did not make the cut, that it wasn't good enough. I hid my sexuality under baggy clothes that would hide my female body, hoping that no one would notice I was a girl. It was the only choice that really looked like one: By refusing to put on a women's body and receive a rating, I chose not to have all my future choices confined to little things, and not to have the choices made for me, on the basis of something meaningless to me, in the larger things. But at the same time, my choice grew smaller and smaller.
Extractions: Also see Bulima in males and Atypical eating disorders in males Anorexia was first described in males by both Morton (57) and Gull (58). Anorexia in males accounted for approximately six percent of cases seen in an eating disorder clinic (38,59). Anorexia may be underdiagnosed because many physicians, as well as the anorectics themselves, are unaware that this condition occurs in both sexes. The mean age of onset of male anorexia has been reported ranging from as young as 17 years in a British series by Crisp and Burns (47) to 24 years (38,60). Crisp found that the illness was present an average of three and one-half years and that most patients were mildly obese (127.3 percent of ideal body weight, IBW) prior to the onset of illness. Minimal weight dropped to 67.3 percent of IBW (60) during the acute phase of illness. Apparently contrasting socioeconomic groups of origin for male anorectics may represent specific populations, seen in various programs. Andersen and Mickalide (48) found a high socioeconomic group at Johns Hopkins, while Herzog (38) in Boston and Verdereycken and Van den Broucke (59) in Belgium found an even socioeconomic distribution.
