The person suffering from an eating disorder is able to work as any other person does, the anorexic is no exception. Most people with anorexia are able to continue working particularly if the illness has been recognised and is being treated with the help of a doctor.
The only noticeably difference that may stand out from the rest of the staff is that due to the fact of month’s or even years of trying to reach perfection, the person suffering from anorexia may go to incredible lengths to reach any targets given or to meet deadlines.
Study has also shown that certain types of jobs seem to attract those suffering from eating disorders more than others, typical examples of these types of jobs are, catering, nursing, fitness, modelling and jobs relating to PR work and in the fashion industry.
