Are Males Suffering From Disorders Such As Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Etc.?

Doctor, My name is Kristin Crofford and I am conducting a research paper for my English 102 class. An interview is required for a final draft in my research paper. My topic is based on the effects photoshopped images have on consumers. If you have time to answer a few questions it would be greatly appreciated! Are any of your patients males suffering from disorders such as Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa, etc.? Are any of your patients models struggling for approval from companies demanding a certain image? Have any of your patients specifically mentioned any magazine images, clothing catalogues, models in the fashion industry, that have contributed to their idea of what their body should look like? Do you believe photoshop is an issue in today s society that needs to be dealt with, and why? Any examples that contribute to your decision would be helpful, and understandably anonymous. Do you believe there has been an increasing rate of patients struggling from eating disorders, or self-image inferiority in the past few years? Thank you for your time, I hope to hear back from you soon!

Hello,

In my opinion, along with females, males are also suffering from these disorders. These particularly seen in models who are very conscious about their diet and weight.

But reducing weight by these methods is very risky for health. Instead of that, please concentrates on exercise, yoga, and meditations. I will suggest you to give these suggestions to your participants.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
