Artwork of an anorexic woman looking in a mirror
Anorexia nervosa. Artwork of a woman with anorexia nervosa looking at herself in the mirror. Anorexia nervosa, or " slimmers disease" is an eating disorder characterized by intense fear of being fat, wilful avoidance of food and severe weight loss. It mostly affects teenage girls and young women. The woman pictured is slim but her mirror image is obese. This is to represent the fact that sufferers have a distorted body image and see themselves as much fatter than they actually are. Hospital treatment is often necessary to help sufferers gain weight. Psychotherapy may be needed for many months or years after reaching a normal weight to try to prevent relapses.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking artwork captures the devastating impact of anorexia nervosa on body image and self-perception. In this photo print, we see a slim woman gazing into a mirror, but her reflection portrays an obese figure. This stark contrast symbolizes the distorted body image experienced by individuals suffering from this debilitating eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa, often referred to as "slimmers disease" is characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight, leading to deliberate food avoidance and severe weight loss. Primarily affecting teenage girls and young women, it takes a toll on both physical and psychological well-being. The emotional turmoil depicted in this artwork highlights the profound psychological struggles faced by those with anorexia nervosa. The constant perception of oneself as overweight despite being underweight demonstrates how deeply ingrained these distorted thoughts can become. Treatment for anorexia often requires hospitalization to restore healthy weight levels. However, recovery extends far beyond reaching a normal weight; psychotherapy plays a crucial role in preventing relapses and addressing underlying psychological issues that contribute to the disorder's development. By showcasing this powerful piece of art, Science Photo Library sheds light on the complex nature of eating disorders while emphasizing the importance of understanding their psychological aspects. It serves as a reminder that compassion and support are essential in helping individuals overcome their battles with anorexia nervosa.
