3. • 20% of people suffering from anorexia will prematurely die
from complications related to their eating disorder, including
suicide and heart problems.
• 50% of people with eating disorders meet the criteria for
depression.
• Eating disorders have the highest death rate of any mental
illness.
• Over 1/2 of teenage girls and nearly 1/3 of teenage boys use
unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals,
fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives.

4. • The mortality rate of anorexia nervosa is 12 times higher than
the death rate of all causes of death for females 15-24 years
old.
• Women are much more likely than men to develop an eating
disorder. Only an estimated 5 to 15 percent of people with
anorexia or bulimia are male.

6. • Anorexia Nervosa
• Bulimia Nervosa
• Binge Eating

8. • Anorexia means "without appetite” Nervosa is the Nervous System.
• Anorexia is one of the three most common types of teen eating
disorders.
• Anorexics consistently deprive their bodies of needed nutrition in
the form of calories, vitamins, electrolytes, and other nutrients for
long periods of time.
• It is a mental disorder. One simply cannot just ‘stop.’
• People with anorexia see themselves as overweight, even when
they are starved or are clearly malnourished.
• People with anorexia lose weight by dieting and exercising
excessively; others lose weight by self-induced vomiting, or
misusing laxatives, diuretics or enemas.

10. • A person with anorexia typically weighs herself or himself
repeatedly, portions food carefully, and eats only very small
quantities of only certain foods.
• When a person with anorexia looks into a mirror he/she does
not often see an accurate reflection. A person with anorexia
sees him/herself as fat, even if he/she is dangerously thin.
This is a very frightening experience and feels very real –
driving the person to diet.

11. • Restricting Type-
• Anorexics severely restrict their calories sometimes taking in only a few
hundred calories a day or just water.
• The individual with anorexia has an appetite; they just try to control it.
• Binge/Purging Type-
• Individuals that lose control, they eat, or eat something they feel they
should not have eaten, they vomit or over exercise.

diet pills, or other medications.

an attempt to lose weight that might be gained from eating
food or binging.
