Caregivers feared that Tytti, 20, would have a heart attack – yet she did not want to recover

Tytti Miettinen, a 20-year-old suffering from anorexia, has struggled with body image issues since her teenage years, exacerbated by the pandemic, but resists recovery despite health risks.

Tytti Miettinen's struggle with anorexia began when she was just 13, driven by a desire to change her appearance to align more closely with unrealistic images seen on social media. As she increased her physical activity to lose weight, her eating habits started to shift significantly, leading her to an unhealthy obsession with maintaining a specific body image. Her condition gradually worsened over time, culminating in a formal diagnosis at age 16 as the pandemic propelled her already precarious relationship with food and exercise.
