Question 4

could a person relapse from anorexia 8 years later?

Accepted Answer

: Unfortunately, yes.  Anorexia, along with other eating disorders, are not problems you can have "part way."
 It can start slowly as a result of increased stress, anger, loneliness and other emotions and this is the chance to catch it.  Seeing a therapist or a doctor that helped in the past can support your putting on the brakes.  Without this intervention, it is very likely that it will escalate.

Question 8

how do people beat anorexia?

Accepted Answer

Anorexia: Anorexia is complex. I believe that anorexia becomes better, can be controlled, and not be the "center" of one's lfe. But, just as there are compulsions for many things in this world; i believe the tendency for anorexia will always be there; but no longer acted upon. So, i believe that anorexia can become inactive in a person---that would be a cure in my experience.

Question 10

what are the causes of anorexia?

Accepted Answer

"Causes" is correct: A major cause is sexual or emotional trauma. A second significant cause is how eating and weight gain are dealt with in the family. Significant is the inappropriate way "desireable" women are depicted in every aspect of our culture. It distorts girls and women's perceptions of themselves and other women.The problem for men - it distorts how they view and treat daughters, wives and lovers.
