Anorexic people continuo to think they are overweight; they want to be extremely thin even if they become very ill or near to death.
15-is anorexia transitional?
In the past anorexia considered as a Western culture-bound syndrome, however, nowadays anorexia nervosa, in its culturally reconstructed fat phobic form, is no longer bound to specific Western localities. Instead, it may be conceived as being grounded in the transnational culture of 'modernity', characterized by an internationalized socio-economic stratum now found in many rapidly urbanizing parts of the world, and composed of increased affluence, as well as the globalization of fat phobia and diffusion of biomedical technology.
