One of these disorders is anorexia nervosa witch incidence increased a lot in the last period throughout the world. The people that present anorexia nervosa have a deformation image about their body, thinking they are fat even in the periods they are under their normal weight. The apparent control about food behavior, restrictive diets offers a false self-control of patients with anorexia nervosa in their life day by day.
