What is Anorexia Nervosa?
Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder - the patient feels fat, but in reality is thinner than recommended. This is a constant fear of gaining weight and the impact is so strong that the person is almost on the verge of starvation, pathologically checks their weight and inadequately controls calories.
Anorexia Nervosa is no joke and if treatment is not started in time, a fatal outcome can occur, because the body cannot withstand a deficiency of nutrients for a long time, the risk of heart disease is high. Unfortunately, in the acute phase, patients who are irritated by their appearance even go so far as to self-harm.
Keep in mind that due to changes in the brain, anorexia becomes a disease and is no longer just a personal choice, for example, what to eat or whether you like how you look.
The main thing is not to give up and consult a doctor in time - modern medicine can help you! A number of methods have been developed that will neutralize the mental and physical problems provoked by anorexia, form a balanced eating habit, and return you to a healthy weight!
