  3. Purging Type: The person uses different methods to lose wight, such as vomiting, drugs and intense exercise to lose weight. • Restricting Type: People with this type of anorexia don't use vomiting or drugs, they simply eat very small amounts of food.

  4. Psychological and behavioural problems • Depression and social withdrawal. • The individual can become irritable and easily upset and have difficulty interacting with others. • Sleep can become disrupted and lead to fatigue during the day. • Attention and concentration can decrease. • Most individuals with anorexia become obsessed with food. Additionally, they may develope other obsessions, addictions or compulsions.

  5. Physical problems • Constipation and abdominal pain are the most common symptoms. • Absence of menstrual periods. Menstrual periods typically return with weight gain and successful treatment. • Osteoporosis is a significant complication of anorexia. • Frequent vomiting can eventually lead to tooth loss.
