| | Anorexia nervosa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Anorexia is fundamentally less about food than about an individual's psychological need to feel safe. | | | During the Victorian era, medical examiners were more interested in physical characterics, or what the patient's body had to say, rather than his or her description of the illness. | | | The prescription of psychotropic drugs such as antidepressants is also practiced. |

| | Anorexia is usually treated with a combination of individual therapy, family therapy, behavior modification, and nutritional rehabilitation. | | | Parents, teachers, coaches, or instructors may be able to identify the child or adolescent with anorexia, although many persons with the disorder initially keep their illness very private and hidden. | | | A detailed history of the child's behavior from parents and teachers, clinical observations of the child's behavior, and, sometimes, psychological testing contribute to the diagnosis. |

| | Many times someone with anorexia has had their personal boundaries invaded, meaning that someone hurt them physically or sexually at some point in their lives. | | | To be abused or live in a chaotic environment is to not be in control of yourself or your surroundings for a period of time, so the person with anorexia takes everything in life and measures it by one thing - their bodies. | | | Asking for help takes tremendous strength and courage as it is, but when the family of someone who has come forward with their problems jrefuses to acknowledge that they need help, it just makes getting treatment even harder. |
