You can hide this advertisement by registering. i was pretty sure it was.. but looking over some notes nutritional deficiency is more like vitamin c and scurvy etc? can any1 confirm if anorexia is classified as a nutritional deficiency or a a mental disease.... because it is the patients external influences that makes them stop eating food and have the resulting nutritional deficiency.. like maybe its environmental or social or sumthing ?im confused! hope sumone can help.. |

26 Jul 2008, 3:18 PM | hihi arls.... anorexia is not exactly a disease because its more of a psychological thing... u see, scurvy it happens beacuse of the lack of vitamin c.. anorexia is caused by the psyche of the person... so in my opinion it can't really be classified a "disease" if u were to do nutritional disease, stick to scruvy.. its easy to undersatnd and describe... |
