With the world infested with hundreds of diseases that causes mortality rates to sky rocket, there is one not so vital illness but is the center of attention of the public. Anorexia nervosa is actually a psychiatric disorder that affects the body because of the fear to gain weight. A person with this diagnosis seldom eats and would rather starve, or if they do, they would purge, puke, exercises extremely and the worst thing is use drugs excessively.
Celebrities are commonly known and accused to have this kind of medical condition and are often the subject in gossips and news. Quite a few popular icons have been confirmed of having anorexia and some still denies it though facts show they are. The famous singer, Karen Carpenter, was diagnosed with it and eventually died due to complications. Their obsession to maintain their slim figure or to reduce to a much desirable body image ends in agonizing results. The worst thing about this is that the press indulges on the matter and uses it to sell their articles like hot cakes. Celebs going in and out of anorexia treatment centers are swarmed by paparazzi to get their malnourished images to talk about and get mocked by others.
The real score is that these celebrities are still people with emotions and should be given much attention and guidance. That these problems should be taken seriously and should not be used as a way of getting big bucks and the sooner others realize this, the sooner these people could be treated accordingly. A person with eating disorder should be recognized before hand to avoid reaching the worst point. Getting ill is not something to make fun with so if you see something like this try to offer at least you deepest sympathy and empathy.
