To look 'in' or fashionable like the models they see on social media, teenage girls are often harming themselves by giving up food.
Psychiatrist Valbona Alikaj is treating a 15-year-old who has used 80 laxative tablets and has developed anorexia nervosa.
"In addition to anorexia nervosa, she used 80 laxatives so that nothing of what she consumed remained in her body, even though she consumed very little, she only ate tomatoes," says the doctor.
The girl is admitted to the psychiatric ward because her weight is at the minimum limit. The doctor says she is an excellent student at school.
But how can a 15-year-old girl buy laxative tablets at the pharmacy?
"She is at her weight limit, so she came to ask for help. But she is very informed about the calories in everything she puts into her body. I have asked her to come and give a lecture to the students. She is very smart and manages to obtain the tablets from different pharmacies," the doctor says.
The doctor says that in cases of anorexia nervosa, there are many girls on social media who follow certain Korean models and seek to imitate them.
The psychiatrist calls on parents to be vigilant about what programs their children follow on social media, as they are often the cause of mental health problems.
