Anorexia nervosa is a severe
mental health disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight,
leading to self-imposed starvation and extreme weight loss. Individuals with
anorexia often have a distorted body image, perceiving themselves as overweight
despite being underweight. The condition involves obsessive behaviors related
to food, dieting, and exercise, along with an overwhelming preoccupation with
body size and shape. Physical consequences include malnutrition, hormonal imbalances,
and damage to vital organs, posing serious health risks. Anorexia nervosa not
only affects the body but also has profound psychological and social
implications, often leading to isolation and impaired daily functioning.
Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach, including medical,
nutritional, and psychological interventions, aimed at addressing both the
physical and mental aspects of the disorder. Early recognition and intervention
are crucial for a better prognosis in overcoming this challenging condition.
