Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia Nervosa is a serious eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. Individuals with this condition often restrict their food intake, leading to significant weight loss and malnutrition. They may engage in excessive exercise or other behaviors to prevent weight gain, which can have severe physical and psychological consequences.
The disorder can affect anyone, but it is most commonly seen in adolescents and young adults, particularly females. Treatment typically involves a combination of medical care, nutritional counseling, and psychological support to help individuals regain a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.
