  1. Anorexia Nervosa 101: What is Anorexia? Signs and Symptoms, Causes and Effects, and Treatment.

  2. What is Anorexia Nervosa? Anorexia is an eating disorder and mental health condition in which a person thinks that they are fat, even if they are underweight and because of this distorted body image, they eat a lot less food or exercise too much, or both, and doing so can make them sick.

  3. Signs and Symptoms of Anorexia Here are a few signs and symptoms of anorexia: Low BMI Restricted eating or missing meals altogether Avoiding fattening foods Obsessive and anxious attitudes about food Taking appetite suppressants Overuse of laxatives or diuretics The cessation of monthly menstrual periods (amenorrhea) Hair loss and dry skin

  4. Eating disorders usually start when someone who is already struggling with life begins to believe that maybe their life would be better if they were slimmer. Often this belief has its roots in low self-esteem and poor body image.

  5. Causes of Anorexia The actual causes of anorexia are unknown. Anorexia is a complex condition that is usually caused by a combination of different biological and environmental factors. Biologically, research suggests that genetics play a part, as well as irregular hormone functions and nutritional deficiencies. Environmental factors are not always involved but can trigger or worsen an eating disorder.

  6. Effects of Anorexia Anorexia has severe effects as it has the highest fatality rate of any psychiatric disorder. The most vulnerable organ in the body is the heart. The most common cause of death in anorexics is heart disease. Moreover, According to Eating Disorder Hope, “The brain shrinks due to lack of nutrition with a commensurate lowering of IQ.” The skeletal system is damaged, especially if the anorexia occurs in teenagers before the bones are fully developed.” To know more, you can read on the website.
