Nervosa, often a shorthand for Anorexia Nervosa,
is an eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a
distorted body image. Behavioural issues associated with this condition include
extreme food restriction, obsessive calorie counting, and excessive exercise.
Individuals may exhibit ritualistic eating habits, such as cutting food into
tiny pieces or only eating at specific times. Social withdrawal is common, as
they often avoid situations involving food. Deceptive behaviours, like hiding
food or lying about eating, can arise to conceal their habits. Emotional
symptoms such as irritability, mood swings, and anxiety about body image are
prevalent. Over time, these behaviours can lead to severe physical health
problems and impact daily functioning, making early intervention crucial.
Addressing these behaviours requires a comprehensive approach, including
psychological therapy, nutritional counselling, and medical support to foster
healthier attitudes towards food and body image.
