Thanks for the kudos, Kristen, on my conquering anorexia. Even though I’ve struggled through it myself and conquered it ( however, it’s an ongoing process), it’s difficult to know how truly to help others. Perhaps it’s because anorexia is something that’s difficult to admit or talk about…at least for me until recent years. When I see younger girls and women endangering their lives, as I once did, I know I should speak out more and share. The thought has been formulating that I should start a blog about this and help others in this health area as I try to with Alzheimer’s.

Thanks for the feedback, Mary Emma! Anorexia is so hard to beat, I can’t believe you were able to conquer it yourself. You should be so proud of that every day. It’s sad to think how many people have had to deal with it on their own because there was simply no awareness of it! We’re very lucky today that it’s been identified as a psychiatric diagnosis and is now actively treatable. People with eating disorders suffer just as much as people with depression, bipolar, and any other mental disorder — and sometimes moreso because of the physical effects of the behaviors. It’s important that we educate ourselves, our children, and our communities.

Thanks for your great post for SciHealth Theme Day, Kristen. You’ve provided a lot of information and resources. When I suffered from anorexia years ago, even the doctors didn’t know what it was. Looking back, I find it rather amazing that I conquered it, although it’s something I’ve had to keep the upper hand over throughout my life. Also, I’d think, even now, many people wouldn’t like to consider it a mental disorder. However, as I consider the issue, I realize it does involve a type of “mind set” and your ability to take control over the situation rather than letting it control you.
