Bryan clearly is not anorexic because he gained a bunch of weight/fat when his doctor told him he was at a dangerous weight. Someone suffering from anorexia is not going to increase their body fat by 5-10% on their doctors recommendation.

I'm not saying he's anorexic. I'm using it as an example of how eating disorders have a significant social contagion component to them.
