I like the following article because it gives a basic information on what anorexia nervosa is, and stresses that it is also a mental, not only physical problem. We can find out basic facts that are explained by normal language, not in doctor’s terms. There are also some links for anyone that is interested in the issue more deeply. It is good to know these things, for parents or friends or women themselves that might feel they have some problems related to this. It also stresses the media’s role in the whole issue. There are videos that are attached that show some stories of real women that were suffering from this horrible disease. It is one thing to talk about a problem, and quite another to see it with one’s own eyes. I believe that such videos can help some women to ‘get scared’ before it is too late. This is the article
