Thrust into the public eye by a provocative ad campaign, Isabelle Caro has become the living face of anorexia, who says her disease stems from a childhood spent in isolation. SheilaMacVicar reports. (CBSNews.com)
I wonder what she would have looked like at a normal size. Her facial features are quite distorted, but she probably would have been very beautiful..:/
Anorexia nervosa is the most lethal mental illness of all. Some where around 20% of anorexics eventually die. Isabelle is dead now, she passed away in November 2010..
I'm discusted in some of the comments here you are under educated if you know nothing about anorexia. Anorexia is a mental illness that needs professional help to recover successfully so if you have to comment do so with compassion and understanding. I'm a recovered anorexic I know this..........
Yes, it's more about the hit you get from the control you have when in it. Different things trigger it for different people. Usually a troubled childhood, but not always that. So happy you are healthy. I stay recovered for my beautiful children. If there is such a thing. Blessings to you ❤️
And even if an anorexic person wanted to get back to eating properly, their stomach would more than likely reject the food, depending on how long they've been starving. After too long of not eating, your body sees food as a threat and gets rid of it. They would probably need to get medical attention for a feeding tube instead.
People piss me off. All so ignorant. Anorexia nervosa is a mental illness that you cannot control, it's not just something you can throw yourself into and take yourself out of at any time. Before you tell someone to "just eat," learn your fucking facts first. Retards.
This woman should be ashamed She just had to eat. Eating is the easiest thing on earth! You take food and put it in your mouth, chew and swollow it! Crazy woman now she´s dead!
Omg. You are so disprectful, you are the one to be ashamed. Maybe you should actually research and look into something for once before calling dead people crazy. You have no idea what it is like.
It's not that simple, it's more of a mental illness rather a physical one. They become obsessed with staying thin and their mind takes control over their body and says they should not eat or else they will gain weight. And because she is so thin I believe it would be quite hard to begin stuffing food in your mouth because your body would've become trained to reject it, so your body would most likely reject for quite some time until finally your body accepts it.
This story makes me pause and think about the way I perceive things when it comes to people who blame their childhood for their current situation in life. I almost always label that as a crutch, to blame their childhood I mean, I used to think it's just an easy way out of taking any real responsibility for their own poor decisions, but when I look at her, when I listen to her story, I truly can't find any real cause to blame her at all. This is definitely all because of that horrible childhood. So how can I say that about her, but when other people blame their upbringing for their adult situation I say it's a crutch? Guess I shouldn't be judging at all.
Felix Culpa well, at some point we all have to decide we’re adults and can’t let your childhood define your life. Not saying that’s easy, but most people have imperfect childhoods and they must grow past that.
@***** For me it's mainly sex offenders that make my blood boil, and when they have their sleezy attorneys put up a defense that blames their own victimization as a child, I get pretty darn irate. This video made me realize that there are indeed cases (probably millions of them for all I know) in which an individual has every right in the world to blame their upbringing for certain problems they have as an adult. It also made me realize that those cases, the ones in which I now think it's valid to cite their childhood, are only acceptable to me if the problem they're having AFFECTS ONLY THEM. This poor woman wasn't asking anybody for anything, she wasn't even really blaming anyone else for her horrible condition, she is by far one of the most genuinely traumatized adults I have ever seen. But when a person tries to do the same thing, and cite their childhood for something they do TO OTHER PEOPLE, that's when I stop listening and start working on calming myself down so I don't jump the table and strangle them right there! When a freaking sex offender tries to say: "Oh, well, I was raped repeatedly as a child, it was the most horrific experience I could've imagined growing up, so THAT'S WHY I go and do the same thing to these little boys, I rape them because I was raped, and I should be given a free pass because of it". THAT IS PROFOUNDLY WRONG. It doesn't even make sense, here these guys are, talking about how horrific their childhood was, how incredibly horrifying it was to grow up in a house surrounded by people that rape them at a moments notice, yet they decide to go and put yet another poor little boy thru that same hell? When they know how terrible it is from experiencing it themselves? That doesn't make sense to me at all! Anyway, I'm ranting again man, and writing WAY TOO MUCH lol, I guess I just get pretty heated when I talk about things like this! People can possibly have a great reason to cite their childhood for things they do that only hurt themselves, but people cannot cite their childhood for things they do to other people. That's my basic point I guess.
Hey everyone, I made a video on my channel about my eating disorders and body image, if anyone who is struggling would like some advice and encouragement check it out x
IQ does not determine neurological competence though. Just by being anorexic alone it is safe to assume that you lack complex thought and reasoning. I already understand how it's like to be anorexic, but seriously, if one starts to witness their own bones they could at least treat themselves to something. Its only common sense to eat, whether you are hungry or not. You may be "highly intelligent" but your overall competence is just as pathetic as any other arrogant human being.
I understand that this comment was five years ago, but I have never heard anything that I perceive to be as vile as your comment. Please educate yourself. I am personally dealing with an eating disorder, and I can personally speak that for some, including me, seeing your bones is the reward that you get, for all the hard work you’ve done. It’s sad and disgusting, but it makes you feel better about yourself, your situation, like you’re finally not letting everybody down that sees you, like you’re finally worth something, and you crave more and more and more. And even worse, it can make you feel like you’re better than others, inhuman, powerful, because you don’t succumb to the ugliness that is food. And most of all, it’s a coping mechanism, when you’ve stopped knowing what to do anymore, when you’re overwhelmed, it’s there to comfort you. A constant. Something that is always guaranteed, something that you face every day, that people will love you more for, something that will make you feel okay. “If I don’t eat today I will lose weight, if I lose weight I can be thin, if I am thin I will be loved, if I am thin I will be okay, if I don’t eat I will be loved, if I stop eating I will be *perfect*” I’m not a professional, nor very good at explaining, but the general attitude portrayed in your comment is very antisocial and generally quite inconsiderate, narrow minded, and childish. I wish you the best though, and hope that in the future you will learn to have more thought and compassion.
Oh shut your mouth already, anyone can have a mental illness, wheter the persons dumb or clever. We all know that you think that anorexic people are dumb. No need to shove it down everyones throat, kay?
@darlingdino Well according to Mensa my IQ is 138 so who cares. I'm highly intelligent and still suffered from anorexia. Oh and I usually don't use the low life kind of language as "bite me". Good day to you little boy.
@cryptictrin4 If only all humans would exercise the use of their intelligence and rationality, many of these mental "illnesses" should not even be happening to millions of "sick" people. Many wouldn't even be "sick" in the first place. Now, if only this woman would just open her goddamn mouth, chew, and swallow food three times a day, having exercised the use of her intelligence and rationality, she wouldn't even be having that problem in the first place.
@cryptictrin4 Americans have this way of treating all conditions with a mental/psychological origin as some kind of sickness. Indeed, some are, but are not some kind of disease that gets "cured" with pills and such. Anorexia, for example, is still not completely understood, just as the human mind is. Sometimes, these mental "conditions" are not as simple as being caused by some haywire in a person's brain. Intelligence and rationality is what makes us human.
i had anorexia and now i’m 5”0 at 16 and my 12 year old sister is 5”5 and my 15 year old brother brother is 5”11
I wonder what she would have looked like at a normal size. Her facial features are quite distorted, but she probably would have been very beautiful..:/
Its look like went a person have the deaseas cancers

@Limeade L nope im not because your the worst thing in here bisaya
Martin Vasquez You’re a horrible person
I couldnt think of anything more tragic than watching a family member suffering with that illness. RIP
They refused to serve her in bars? Hate much?
Heroin makes you anorexic but in terms of appetite loss but when you are anorexia as in anorexia nervosa you have no choice.

After too long of not eating, your body sees food as a threat and gets rid of it. They would probably need to get medical attention for a feeding tube instead.
its called refeeding syndrome, where your stomach shrinks because of lack of food and rejects food in treatment leading to vomiting
People piss me off. All so ignorant. Anorexia nervosa is a mental illness that you cannot control, it's not just something you can throw yourself into and take yourself out of at any time. Before you tell someone to "just eat," learn your fucking facts first. Retards.
@Daniel39363, never heard of that one before...
i stoped eating for 3months it was so hard .... :( but i am recovry now

This woman should be ashamed She just had to eat. Eating is the easiest thing on earth! You take food and put it in your mouth, chew and swollow it!

my teacher showed this in class
Hey everyone, I made a video on my channel about my eating disorders and body image, if anyone who is struggling would like some advice and encouragement check it out x
She's been passed away for quite awhile now. Rip
It is better to be like that than fat like people in UK or USA.
Being obese and being anorexic are both dangerously unhealthy. One is no better than the other.
It's better if you just eat.
Nope being “fat” is healthier than deadly thin.
jacobmal no it’s not because it kills you a lot faster

Something about this video must have struck a nerve in you. Whatever it is, I hope it gets better.

@darlingdino Well according to Mensa my IQ is 138 so who cares. I'm highly intelligent and still suffered from anorexia. Oh and I usually don't use the low life kind of language as "bite me". Good day to you little boy.
@darlingdino According to Mensa, my IQ is 158, and I'm a polymath. Bite me. Good day.
@ralphM1114 It has nothing to do with intelligence. Obviously you lack that or else you'd know better.
When did she die?
so sad she breaks my heart, and she fought so gallently at the end! RIP my dear child!
I didn't know she had died until just now. Poor thing, she wanted to be healthy again.
