So, I'm in this Behavior Modification Psych. class here at school and today's class topic was Depression and Eating Disorders. There was this guy in my class who openly said that he thinks that classifying eating disorders as a disorder and an/or an illness is crap. He said that humans are biologically meant to eat and those who choose not to ARE going to die. He said that eating disorders are all media hype, that these people choose to be this way, and that it all is a case of the survival of the fittest.
My jaw dropped. How is he ever going to be a Psychologist, and why does he think something like that?
