Anorexia Symptoms
Anorexia, or anorexia nervosa, is a serious eating disorder that can ultimately lead to death. Anorexia symptoms are sometimes hard to spot because an anorexic person is typically very adept to hiding their condition, or may not even realize (or at least admit) that they have a problem in the first place.The anorexic person has a distorted view of their body and of their body weight, believing that they are fat or overweight, even when they are dangerously too thin.Recovering from anorexia is possible with the proper treatment and lifestyle changes, although the self-destructive behaviors of the anorexic can have lifelong implications on their overall health. Women are not the only sufferers of anorexia – more and more men have been found to be anorexic than ever before, likely because it was never considered a "disease" that a man could have. It is very rare that an anorexic person will reach out for help themselves but rather must be confronted and convinced to seek treatment – much like an “intervention”.
