Overview

Anorexia nervosa, sometimes simply referred to as anorexia, is one of the most common eating disorders. Anorexia is a potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by self-starvation, excessive weight loss, fear of gaining weight, distorted body image, and at times, excessive exercising.For many people, restricting their food is a way to control areas of their life that feel out of control. In turn, they allow their body image to define their entire sense of self-worth. It can also be a way of expressing emotions that feel too complex or overwhelming such as pain, stress, or anxiety.Being aware of the signs and symptoms of anorexia can make a huge difference in the duration and severity of the illness. The warning signs of anorexia can be physical, psychological, and behavioral. Not every person experiences every symptom, and it's possible for someone to display a combination of these symptoms.
