Herewith I am posting one scientific article written by Dr. Arthur Dingley a specialist on eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and obesity. He is writing about these disorders more concretely to details. He also uses some very interesting statistical numbers which say that bulimia occurs more often than anorexia and that obesity is the major problem of nowadays. According to Dr. Dingley there is less than 1% of people suffering from anorexia, but around 90% of them are girls, young women around the age of 17. There are 2% of people from entire population suffering from bulimia nervosa. He also suggests that obesity is not a psychic disorder so it is different in this eating disorders group. The causes of eating disorders are not clear even unknown. Dr.Dingley says: “The cause of eating disorders is unknown. It is tempting to speculate that our cultural “fixation” on idealized physical beauty is driving young women to extremes as they attempt to achieve an unattainable standard of physique. Unfortunately, there is little evidence for this. In fact, people with Anorexia Nervosa completely ignore culturally accepted norms of female beauty in pursuit of their idiosyncratic goals”.
