In reality eating disorders has been in this world for a really long time that in the 1980s having an eating disorder was a normal thing for the people which eventually was called the booming bulimina (Evans, 2012). Although the images that people see now also plays a role of an eating disorder. For example, “Americans are constantly bombarded with images of very thin, beautiful young women and lean, muscular men”, ( Wexler, 2007). Researchers have found that eating disorders is usually triggered when someone has anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. Which then makes a person feel all alone and helpless and a person’s appetite will go away or it can increase a person’s appetite excessively.

Of course once a person educates themselves, the person will have a better knowledge on why the ill person does it in the first place and how it’s not right for them to tell the ill person just stop. Once having knowledge about it a person can go explain to the ill person all of the dangers that the eating disorder is causing the ill person’s body and how it can lead death. The ill person could then realize that the eating disorder is causing them harm and would then want to go get help. When a person tries to talk to someone who has an eating disorder always has to be careful on the word choices the person chooses because a person with the disorder could actually take it offensive, since the ill person may or may not know on the actions the ill person is doing is actually very unhealthy and

dangerous.
Another way someone who knows a person with an eating disorder can go take the ill person to see a professional. By seeing a professional, a person with an eating disorder is more then likely to recover since professionals are suppose to be trained and skilled in theses types of situations. It can also become very difficult when a person with this disorder refuses any type of treatment because sometimes the ill person thinks they don’t have any type of disorder at all. No human being want to lose a living person to an eating disorder especially when the disorder is curable.
