I need help with an assignment. I need to know whether eating disorders are easy or hard to eat.
Short Answer; Eating disorders are difficult to treat, because it is very difficult to get the individual being treated to see their bodies as being normal or appropriate; they can weigh 84 lbs and near death and still see themselves as fat.

They are difficult to treat because the results solely rely on the patient wanting to get better. Many times the patient is in denial that they even have a problem, plus their self-image is extremely hard to change. Images of a healthy body and/or eating habits can and do disgust patients because their concepts are so warped out of reality that molding to a doctor's guidance is very difficult to maintain, especially if the treatment is not an everyday, constant correction. Habits are hard to create and ever more difficult to break when there is addiction.
