You also keep insulting her by calling her mentally handicap in nearly all your post, when she doesn't have any dissability.

I didn't say that in that thread. And of course she's mental, anorexia is a mental disorder and even if she isn't anymore, she does suffer about what happens next. She needs to be loved, she needs attention, it's not insulting her because it's the truth. We talked about that in some other threads. But now back to the topic please.

But you said mentally handicap, and nikki doesn't have that, she has anorexia, same as me.

Actually, it is. Anorexia is a technically a mental disorder and all mental disorders are considered handicaps (legally disabilities). Thus, an anorexic person has a handicap/disability. This applies in almost all modern day anti-discrimination acts, in the UK, US, Canada, et alii.

What are you talking about, Anorexia is caused from lack of apetite, nothing to do with ones brain function, Nikki isn't a mentally autistic that isn'taware of life, thats all rubbish talk, so your say Russel Brand also is mentally handicap because he suffered from anorexia.

Do you know the neurological basis for anorexia nervosa? Anorexia itself, although commonly implying nervosa, is actually the part of the disease that is lack of appetite. Anorexia nervosa is caused by a numerous number of chemical imbalances in the brain of different hormones, the primary being serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone that causes apptetite and ironically sexual pleasure. The imbalance of serotonin means that certain hormonal receptors in the brain do not get enough of the chemical, thus the body does not recognise that it is hungry or subconsciously denies that it is hungry. This then in turn leads to starvation, which then lowers the serotonin level even more. Serotonin is an extremely important hormone in your body and without it, you can be pretty sure that you're either going to get extremely sick or possibly die.
Like clinical depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder, anorexia nervosa is normally attributed not only to neurological, but also psychological factors. Intense emotional pain due to bullying or other emotional factors can cause chemical inbalances in the brain, some of these turn out to cause anorexia. Although not fully understood, it is known throughout the scientific community that malfunctions in hormone transport and balance are some of the major factors of anorexia.
