FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
GIRL TOO SCARED TO EAT WHEN HUNGRY DUE TO DISORDER
June 10, 2008
Concord, NC -- It's 8am and Lucy S has been awake for 4 hours without having breakfast, even though she is highly hungry. Everyday she waits till 9pm when the family she lives with leaves for just an hour. She has never even made conversation with them, though. Actually, she is afraid of most people. She hardly leaves the room she shares long-term boyfriend, Humberto. She only does so when absolutely necessary. Even then, she sneaks around while no one is looking and tries to make the bathroom trip or escape out the door as fast as possible. Lucy suffers from Social Phobia, a serious anxiety disorder that affects at least 17 million Americans.
