Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia Nervosa is a serious eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. Individuals struggling with anorexia often severely restrict their food intake, leading to significant weight loss and health complications.
Understanding Anorexia Nervosa
Characteristics and Warning Signs
- Extreme Weight Loss: Noticeable reduction in body weight.
- Preoccupation with Food and Calories: Obsessive counting of calories and fixation on dieting.
- Distorted Body Image: Seeing oneself as overweight despite being underweight.
- Withdrawal from Social Activities: Avoiding friends and family, especially during meal times.

Recognizing these signs early can lead to timely intervention and better outcomes.
