Understanding Anorexia Nervosa
The Serious Impact of Disordered Eating
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by extreme food restriction, intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted body image. Over time, this condition can lead to severe malnutrition, organ damage, and psychological distress.
Recognizing the Signs of Anorexia:
Drastic Weight Loss: Severe restriction of food intake leading to noticeable weight loss.
Obsession with Food, Dieting, and Weight: Intense fear of gaining weight and constant monitoring of caloric intake.
Distorted Body Image: Seeing oneself as overweight despite being underweight.
Avoidance of Meals or Social Eating: Skipping meals, lying about eating, or avoiding social situations that involve food.
Excessive Exercise: Engaging in intense physical activity to compensate for food intake.
Physical Health Decline: Dizziness, fainting, hair thinning, and irregular or missing menstrual cycles.
Anorexia is a serious medical and psychological condition that requires professional intervention. At Entrust Recovery Center, we offer specialized care to help individuals regain physical health and emotional balance.
