Hotline planned to help
anorexia, bulimia victims

(Continued from Page 1)
bulimics maintain a normal - or slightly
below normal - weight, said Castagna
who is also a social worker.
"THE ANOREXIC obviously wears
her illness," Castagna said. Most
bulimics, however, hide their disease
and are reluctant to seek help,
Castagna said.
Bulimics fear they will be rejected if
someone discovers their secret, he said.
Bulimics feel ashamed about both the
large quantities of food they consume
and the excessive vomiting, he said.
Yet the disease persists because it is
a seemingly ideal way to stay slim, said
Castagna.
UNDERLYING both anorexia and
bulimia is the powerful drive to be thin,
said Eithel Sech, a University counselor
who specializes in eating disorders.
"(Bulimia) seems like a kind of
magic way to eat all you want," said
Sech.
The physical damage caused by
bulimialowever, is a high price to pay
for that "magic," Sech said. Bulimics
often suffer from sore throats,
dehydration, and excessive vomiting
that can rupture the esophagus, she
said.

USUALLY young women suffer from
anorexia and bulimia, but there are no
restrictions on age or gender, said
Sech.
Sech said she has counselled
anorexics and bulimics who are in their
late 20s and early 30s.
About 90 to 95 percent of eating disor-
der cases are females, said Scott
Richards, a counselor at Castagna's
clinic. "There are probably a lot of
males out there with the problem,"
he said.
The increased media attention on the
two eating disorders has encouraged
women to seek help, Richards said.
"I've seen people who didn't realize
they had a problem until they read
someting about it," he said.
But media attention hasn't been all
positive, said Castagna, who runs the
only clinic exclusively for eating disor-
ders in the state. "(Some bulimics)
learned how to vomit from a TV show,"
said Castagna.
Anorexics, are not as strongly in-
fluenced by the media, Castagna said
adding that they have had more long-
standing problems and develop the
illness on their own.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAD A FREE
UNIVERSITY COURSE THIS FALL?
Free University courses are "free" in three ways:
The topics are some aspect of social change for
human liberation-they are led by volunteers and
offered without cost-and the learning style is par-
ticipatory.
A series of such courses will begin in late Septem-
ber and run for about five weeks. If you are in-
terested in being a resource person who could lead
a course in the area of social change, please call
Jonathan Weber at Canterbury Loft, 665-0606,
as soon as possible.
