| Abstract | The National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders released a study that said one in ten cases of eating disorders involve males. The website says “many people believe that only white girls are affected by eating disorders, however, in reality, no ethnic, gender or socioeconomic group is immune to the dangers of this disease.” ❧ This statement means more than ever for John Simmons, who was diagnosed with an eating disorder in September 2011. Although several factors contribute to the lack of admission by men having disorders, societal pressures and gender stereotypes are the two main issues preventing these men from admitting to having this disease. As these societal pressures lessen and men like Simmons become more inclined to seek treatment, the number of men who are diagnosed with eating disorders may rise. |
