ME is that one where the person is tired all the time (not students)


if I take an alcoholic to a desert island for 1 month and he does not drink then he cannot be said to have a physical addiction as it takes 2-3 days for all the alcohol to leave the body.

So are they just greedy buggers who just want more all the time?

ME and anorexia are illnesses. Alcoholism is an addiction/dependancy. Why dont you try it.

What is this thread about, anorexia is none of these things, and i doubt the other two are either, illnesses all of them, one way or another

I am inclined to view both anorexia and alcoholism - as the self-indulgent behaviour of needy people! Not very sympathic towards either!

Why not Anorexia? It'a an illness. Not a good attitude for a woman to have.

[Tom4784]

Well they've each been proven to be an addiction/disorder so this topic is pointless.

[Crimson Dynamo]

if they are illnesses then why is there no proper medicine?

Tell that to the thousands of people who honestly want to stop drinking on a psychological level, but need to keep drinking on a physical level.

Or vice versa for the anorexics.

It's not all attention seeking, you know. I am not saying all of them are, but many are sick people. Sick people need help and compassion. Not stern words from someone who hasn't got the faintest idea what they are talking about.

There may be no proper medicine but there are a variety of treatment regimes.

There are drugs used in some of those treatments.

Just like there is no cure for the common cold or for flu, but there are drugs that can be used for symptomatic relief.

Why is there not a cure for ignorance and stupidity, you should ask, LT

Seriously, I'm flabbergasted at people in here, even more so than usual!
