Orthorexia: When Health Food Becomes Death Food
In This Article:
Although Orthorexia Nervosa has produced very few deaths, it should also be noted that Orthorexia Nervosa is a rather recent discovery since for many years medical professionals thought those suffering from Orthorexia were just Anorexics.
Orthorexia Nervosa is known as the health food disorder. This is due to the Orthorexic's preoccupation with health food. Orthorexia causes the sufferer to become more and more obsessed with the types of foods they are consuming, resulting in more and more constriction placed on their eating habits. Most people suffering from Orthorexia never succumb to death, yet suffer social isolation and depression. "The risk of breaking the diet was just too much to hang out with others," recalls one former sufferer.
