hi... i was just watching a programme on anorexia... i always knew it was serious.... but i have learned alot more about it now....i always thought that it was only girls who had it, but i learned that there a quite a lot of males... it was very sad, a girl died during the making of the film... it said that 70-80% of anorexics die... with 50% of those deaths suicide...... oh damn... im sorry, i am propbably doing nothing for the mood... im sorry, it was just quite a powerful programme.

no- it was definately the mental state of anorexia that killed them...

then, you cant say anorexia killed the person. you have to say, depression, or DID, or whatever the pchological cause of suisude was.

js- don't be so defensive. if it's a fact then it's a fact- she said 50% of them died not from their bodies starving but from suicide because of that condition...

People can be anorexic's and then recover. But the percentage you said was probably from those who did not recover. That is terrible.

70% of anoreixics do not die! only about 10% do!
