Disorder: Anorexia Nervosa

Anorexia nervosa is a "disorder of neurotic origin characterized by a systematic rejection of food which is usually observed in young people." This disorder is accompanied by other risk factors such as: anxiety, this is present in anorexia nervosa as the person suffering from this disorder possibly went through a traumatic event or "emotional chaos" in his life, such as emotional abuse because of their weight. Distress can be targeted whether caused by a specific or generalized atmosphere. However, deterioration is another factor that is very present in any condition as in the case of anorexia. According to the DSM V, anorexia nervosa is a food restriction problem and it is important to keep those thoughts healthy; the person may not function at an optimal level since it is not properly fed. In addition, the deterioration can be seen in excessive weight loss, physical exhaustion, health conditions due to poor diet, among others. People with this behavior feel good and okay, but from another point of view, this behavior is considered an "abnormal behavior". Symptoms such as irritability, depression and emotional or personality disorders may cause risk to the person itself or those around because they do not know the way the patient can react. There are more factors that influence these risk behaviors which are beyond the control of patients so psychological help is important to treat this disorder.

As far as I'm concerned, I believe that anorexia nervosa is an "abnormal behavior" because this disorder has a number of reasons that are not within the standards of the DSM V. In addition, as mentioned above I've seen what anorexia can cause both physically, emotionally and psychologically as I did this exercise taking into account a real example. I believe that this disorder is more present in young adults who may die because of this abnormal behavior. However, this disorder can be treated, but is a process that requires a lot of time for the person to be rehabilitated and try to live a normal life inside the "social standards". Often, the same society is leading to this type of abnormal behavior because of the stigma, prejudices, and stereotypes.
