EATING DISORDERS IN THE NEWS

woman on scale stooping Children in China:  Starved for Attention? By Liu Zhihua (China Daily)

Obsessing about body weight can be a debilitating, even fatal, condition, and it is affecting more and more of China's young. Liu Zhihua examines the worrying trend. Obesity is a hot issue in China. In the last couple of years, the issue of fat has hogged the headlines time and time again. But even as China grows bigger around the waistline, there is another eating disorder that is plaguing many of its young - anorexia nervosa.

Anorexia is an eating disorder that can get in the way of a normal social life at best. At its worst, it can take away life. Experts say it's all in the mind, and they categorize anorexia as a symptom of mental imbalance, usually among teenage girls and young women. The fear of weight gain becomes pathological and the suppression of hunger and the avoidance of food can lead to metabolic and hormonal disorders.

Some victims may consequently die from malnutrition and the resulting organ failure. "The incidence rate of anorexia nervosa has increased very quickly in China in the past decade, but society is apparently not ready to deal with it," says Zhang Darong, a mental illness specialist with Peking University No 6 Hospital, one of the most famous psychiatric hospitals in China.  Read More
