Hi! Doctor Park,
I am a reporter working for a university press located in Seoul. I am currently working on a story about the societal problems of ¡°lookism¡± in Korea. I found numerous cases that many people ¡ª especially girls ¡ª have been obsessed with the appearances of celebrities mainly influenced by mass media such as television or the Internet. I am looking for an expert¡¯s idea on anorexia nervosa, and I hope you can answer my following questions. First of all: Is anorexia nervosa a kind of psychosis? Second, what kind of symptoms does it present? And are there any unified and general symptoms? Is it true that the numbers of anorexia nervosa patients are increasing in South Korea, and what causes such problems? Can we say the influence of mass media is a major cause?
I would very much appreciate it if you could get back to me with even a brief answer. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Anorexia nervosa is a kind of psychiatric illness classified as a separate disorder in the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition). It is mainly characterized as a disorder in which persons refuse to eat in order to maintain a minimally normal weight, an intense fear of gaining weight, and a significant misinterpretation of their body and its shape. Anorexia nervosa can sometimes be a fatal disease whose mortality rate is about 15 percent in the absence of any proper treatment.
According to Daniel Goleman, the author of ¡°Emotional Intelligence,¡± anorexia nervosa in adolescent girls is related with the difficulties of emotional control — mostly anger or rage, low self-esteem, problems in parent-child communication, and frustration by too much competition in an achievement-oriented society.
In that sense, the mass media¡¯s prejudiced attitude toward beauty could trigger anorexia nervosa in adolescent girls, even though we cannot say it has a full responsibility. The prevalence rate of the eating disorder is likely to increase since the emotional stress and problems of modern society will keep increasing.
I hope this helps.
