...This is a disorder where the main characteristic is the restriction of food and the refusal to maintain a minimal normal body weight. Any actual gain or even perceived gain of weight is met with intense fear by the anorexic. Not only is there a true feeling of fear, but also once in the grasp of the disorder, anorexics experience body image distortions. Those areas of the body usually representing maturity or sexuality including the buttocks, hips, thighs and breasts are visualized by the anorexic as being fat.
Hospitalizing is rarely sufficient to cure anorexia nervosa, however it is necesasry to interrupt further weight loss.
If left ubtreated, the effect can be far worse than mere "fatal"
