Long Term Health Consequences of Anorexia Nervosa

1. LONG TERM HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF ANOREXIA NERVOSA

2. WHAT IS ANOREXIA NERVOSA? Anorexia Nervosa is the most serious eating disorder in the world and has a higher death rate than any mental illness. Individuals suffering from anorexia often think they are fat when they are slim. But whether that is the reason or not, a person with this condition refuses to eat or restricts what they eat to such an extent they put themselves in danger. It is often (but not always) linked to a deliberate and conscious will to be as thin as possible without regard to their health.
