Anorexia is the eating disorder that leads people, usually adolescent girls,
to starve themselves to less than 85 percent of their healthy body weight.
It's the only eating disorder that involves delusions.

厭食是一種飲食障礙 病人(通常是青少女) 使自己飢餓
診斷標準為低於該有的正常體重85%以下
這是唯一會使人產生幻覺的飲食障礙疾病

A victim may know that the scale says 90, and she may be able to see ribs and
collarbones protruding, but she still believe she looks fat. Or an anorexic
can be starving but feel as if she's too full.

研究中發現百分之九十的病患，即使已經明顯看到鎖骨、全身骨頭凸出，但仍然相信
自己看起來很胖。
另一種常見的情形，病患可能處在極饑餓狀態，但卻覺得自己太飽。

According to the National Institutes of Health, between 5 percent and 10
percent of anorexia sufferers will die. That makes it the top killer among
psychiatric illnesses.

根據美國國家健康組織表示，百分之五到十的厭食病患會死亡。這是所有心理疾病中
的第一位。

In 2000, researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University published a study
of 2,163 female identical twins and concluded that more than half a person's
risk for developing the disorder could be attributed to genes. Some other
studies have worked toward isolating the area on the human genome where
mutations may exist that influence anorexia.

Virginia Commonwealth大學在2000年時發表研究成果，研究對象為2163對同卵雙胞胎，
發現導致病人發病的風險，有一半以上來自基因因素。
其他研究發現腦中某區的染色體突變可能影響厭食症狀。

Scientists also have found that anorexics have low levels of the brain
chemical serotonin, which controls appetite and could contribute to anxiety.
科學家還發現厭食患者腦中的化學素"復合 月安"濃度較低，這種物質專司食欲且可能
導致焦慮。

Anorexics are extremely anxiety-ridden, experts agree. Studies show they may
spend 70 percent to 80 percent of their time thinking about food, exercise
and their diets.

專家認為厭食者具極端焦慮傾向，研究發現他們花了70~80%的時間，
將心思放在食物、運動、及他們的減肥計劃。

現在我情況稍微沒那麼嚴重時大概百分之50
以前厭食全盛期大概是90~100吧
完全焦慮到無法過正常生活....
