anorexia is NOT easy to overcome WHATSOEVER
Also vomiting is more associated with bulimia

actually, anorexia simply means not eating. this can be caused by illness or things like chemotherapy. anorexia nervosa is the correct term.
just me
not sure about it being "easy to overcome?" I suspect the question writer dosen't have any personal insight of this horrible illness or they wouldn't have written that.

Player #46835611, I know, right? If it was so easy to overcome, it wouldn't be such a problem! I've had eating disorders my whole life; bulimia, anorexia & paired it with drug addiction. What are they thinking?! XOXO

Unfortunately, only a few people manage to get through of this disorder.. A therapist (CBT method) and a dietitian is the best combination.

Definitely not easy to overcome. Not many people can say they have fully recovered. The anorexic thoughts are always there but coping techniques help prevent relapses.

Player #46835611,
Because unusually the setter has not just cut and pasted the Wikipedia entry but has attempted to paraphrase. I have checked the source material and can see no reference to an easy cure

what rubbish that it's easy to overcome, it can affect anyone not just,or even usually, women or girls.Sorry to rant but there are shades of " hysteria" in this answer.
