Anorexia is a common disorder amongst the youth where they tend to starve or sometimes eat less either to loose weight to look skinny. The disorder is best known by scientists as anorexia nervosa. When these teenagers loose calories they end up scrawny.
Discussion
People who suffer from anorexia tend to believe that they are fat even though they seem to be underweight. There are two types of anorexia; Restricting and purging anorexia. This condition is associated with pure dread of getting fat even though they may know the deadly consequences. Female patients experience amenorrhea, which is inability to go through mensturation. The gents become sexually inactive. They also follow strict timetables and schedules for workouts. This condition makes me curious because it affects a significant percentage of the youth around the globe according to research. It is deadly but can be cured.
