Write a 5-page APA paper that analyzes the perception and treatment of Eating Disorders in Western cultures compared to a non-Western culture of your choice. 

Possible questions to address within the paper:

1. How are the symptoms of Anorexia explained in the DSM-5 and the ICD-10 in contrast to a non-Western culture’s explanation of the symptoms and presentation of Anorexia?

2. Analyze the various causes of Anorexia as understood in Western cultures versus non-Western cultures.

3. Examine how the treatment of Anorexia may be different in Western cultures versus non-Western cultures. What can account for these differences? 

· Make sure you always answer the main question/s by developing a strong thesis.  Every written assignment should have a main thesis which you defend with evidence from literature, and perhaps additional personal examples. Always use APA style.

· Please familiarize yourself with concepts of plagiarism and fabrication, and always use a professional tone in your communication.
