No matter how thin you might be, you think you are fat. While a preoccupation with food and weight is the primary aspect of this disease, it involves much more, such as the desire for perfection and control. Treatment can be challenging but success is possible. A treatment strategy entails addressing the issue from several angles including medical, psychological and nutritional. Medical Care Anorexia can cause a host of physical complications. You might require regular monitoring of vital signs, level of hydration, electrolytes and any other condition resulting from anorexia, such as lung, kidney or heart damage. Currently, no prescription drugs address anorexia specifically, but your doctor might prescribe medications to address conditions such as depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder that might accompany the condition.

Anorexia nervosa is eating disorder characterized by low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight. Anorexia nervosa is a serious, often chronic, and life-threatening eating disorder defined by a refusal to maintain minimal body weight within 15 percent of an individual’s normal weight. Persons with this disorder may have an intense fear of weight gain and a distorted body image. Inadequate eating or excessive exercising results in severe weight loss. Other essential features of this disorder include an intense fear of gaining weight, a distorted body image, and amenorrhea. In fact, people with anorexia nervosa ignore hunger and thus control their desire to eat. This desire is frequently sublimated through cooking for others or hiding food that they will not eat in their personal space. Anorexia nervosa usually occurs in adolescence or young adulthood. It is more common in females. People with anorexia nervosa usually lose weight by reducing their total food intake and exercising excessively. Anorexia is also linked to reduced blood flow in the temporal lobes, although since this finding does not correlate with current weight, it is possible that it is a risk trait rather than an effect of starvation.

being thin is all you want. for a friend ♥
