An awareness video on ‘Anorexia Nervosa’

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that is characterized by low body weight and body image distortion. Individuals suffering from this disease control body weight by voluntary starvation, purging vomiting, excessive exercise, or other weight control measures, such as diet pills or diuretic drugs. This disease primarily affects young adolescent girls in the western world and has one of the highest mortality rates of any psychiatric condition, with approximately 10% of people diagnosed with the condition eventually dying due to related factors.

This video is made with an intention to create awareness on this disease and to show how this disease could ruin one’s lifestyle.
