Kaem talks about Karen Carpenter's illness.


From the question number four from page 176 of Quest 2 (Hartmann, 2007), I know a famous person who suffered from a psychological disorder. I think most of you know The Carpenters, a very famous american artists duo in the music history. Karen Carpenter is the vocal of the band with his brother who is an instrumental. Karen had suffered from anorexia nervosa. She didn't have any idea that her eating habit could kill her. She had a treatment with her psychologist but her heart was weak before that. Therefore she died from heartbeat irregularities at age 32. Due to her death, it gave people a scare of anorexia nervosa, and many of celebrities decided to go public about their eating disorders; such as Olsen twins and Nicole Richie.
