Abstract

The general knowledge of the population about the eating disorders is scarce. As with other mental pathologies, the misinformation, the prejudices and stereotypes are mixed without paying attention to the roots of the disease. The media are usually a reflection of this attitude, and at the same time they are part of the problem, because reproducing the same concepts they end up reinforcing identical ideas to those expected by the spectators. In this article, we study the dominant trends of thought in the commercial cinema of the last 20 years, analyzing films whose plot focuses on eating disorders, to confirm if this hypothesis is correct.
