About anorexia nervosa

What is anorexia nervosa

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder in which a person may significantly restrict food intake because of an intense fear of gaining weight, changes in body perception, or a persistent need to control weight and food. It affects more than eating and weight, and can also influence physical health, emotional well-being, thoughts and everyday life.

Recovery is possible, and timely professional support can make the process safer and more sustainable.
