Anorexia nervosa, often referred to simply as anorexia, is an eating disorder characterized by a low weight, fear of gaining weight, a strong desire to be thin, and food restriction. Many people with anorexia see themselves as overweight even though they are underweight. If asked they usually deny they have a problem with low weight. Often they weigh themselves frequently, eat only small amounts, and only eat certain foods. Some will exercise excessively, force themselves to vomit, or use laxatives to produce weight loss. Complications may include osteoporosis, infertility and heart damage, among others. Women will often stop having menstrual periods.
The cause is not known. There appear to be some genetic components with identical twins more often affected than non-identical twins. Cultural factors also appear to play a role with societies that value thinness having higher rates of disease. Additionally, it occurs more commonly among those involved in activities that value thinness such as high level athletics, modelling, and dancing. Anorexia often begins following a major life change or stress inducing event. The diagnosis requires a significantly low weight. The severity of disease is based on body mass index (BMI) in adults with mild disease having a BMI of greater than 17, moderate a BMI of 16 to 17, severe a BMI of 15 to 16, and extreme a BMI less than 15. In children a BMI for age percentile of less than the 5th percentile is often used.
The differential diagnoses of anorexia nervosa (AN) includes various types of medical and psychological conditions, which may be misdiagnosed as AN. In some cases, these conditions may be comorbid with AN because the misdiagnosis of AN is not uncommon. For example, a case of achalasia was misdiagnosed as AN and the patient spent two months confined to a psychiatric hospital. A reason for the differential diagnoses that surround AN arise mainly because, like other disorders, it is primarily, albeit defensively and adaptive for, the individual concerned. Anorexia Nervosa is a psychological disorder characterized by extremely reduced intake of food. People suffering from Aneroxia Nervosa have a low self-image and consider themselves overweight. Common behaviors and signs of someone suffering from AN:
Anorexia Nervosa is a French symphonic black metal band that started as an industrial metal act from Limoges, France. The band was formed in 1995 and was active for ten years thereafter. They are currently "on hold" due to the departure of vocalist RMS Hreidmarr.
Anorexia Nervosa (full name Anorexia Nervosa the Nihilistic Orchestra) was formed in 1995 from the ashes of a death metal band called Necromancia whose line-up consisted of Stéphane Bayle (guitar), Marc Zabé (guitar), Pierre Couquet (bass), Nilcas Vant (drums) and Stéphane Gerbaud (vocals). As Necromancia they produced a demo in 1993, Garden of Delight. At that time, the band was playing industrial death metal with elements of gothic rock which gave it ambience. A second demo, Nihil Negativum, gave Anorexia Nervosa its place in the underground world. The demo featured the dark, industrial atmosphere that their album Exile was later known for. During a concert in the south of France, Michael Berberian, from Season of Mist Records, noticed the band and offered them a contract for an album. Exile, was released in 1997. Reminiscent of their previous work, Nihil Negativum, Exile had an eerily industrial sound to it, and often switched between fast tempos and thrashing guitars back to a slow, ambient style consisting of only a "white noise" – like sound lightly draped over grim vocals. Not only was the album unique in the history of the band, but in the entire black metal genre itself. Being a concept album, Exile based itself on themes of neurosis and experimentation on madness. Twenty-four hundred copies of the album were sold, allowing access to a larger audience and onto a series of concerts with Cradle of Filth, Absu, Misanthrope, amongst others.
I stripped to the puff just to find you fake it
I got dried up and put away
Real love at sea found the bottom baby
I oughta fall when entertaining a stowaway
I stripped down till my faults and bones were naked
I got treed by another lie
Jipped in the mall felt the botulism
I oughta push the whaler some say
I went down to the ball told my buff to break it
We gotta wake and I'm gone away
I skipped out to decline the ransom baby
I can't forget the look of you after the review (cause some massy taint)
I guess our money doesn't tick as far as this convenience
I guess I know we're teed-off when some day I wish I'd daunt you
Anorexia took me all the way, I will be back with a vengeance on a better day
Adoration took my life away, I can only dream of better way
We live on fear, we dizz them down, come on baby
We live on biz, be out to fall right away
We cache our tears, the others turned down the lady
We dizz them down, the others swing safe
Anorexia took me all the way, I will be back with a vengeance on a better day
Adoration took my life away, I can only dream of better way
We took a chance, we come on to sanity
We're damned sure with the fall around
Without chance are we wackily bound on sound
Take sound, we'll lag away lag away
Anorexia took me all the way, I will be back with a vengeance on a better day
Adoration took my life away, I can only dream of better way
Went somersault one summer wide good goings
I went to some gun combats I'm just coming
Got someone new I got sound go out go ribbons owings
Went down so I damn summer I get summer I went sound
Down with the free dance Ami, why can't you end some two won?
Love falling sent to screening, go low low my song
We live on fear, we do some jilt, come on baby
We're dead and found, we test on count down away
Let it be done right away
We have some fear, we kiss them too right away
Anorexia took me all the way, I will be back with a vengeance on a better day
Adoration took my life away, I can only dream of better way
(repeat)
We oughta go now, we down us who's gone
We just summon to town doing some
Got someone to summon to town, this the last dance go dance to manner woe
Anorexia took me all the way, I will be back with a vengeance on a better day
