Anorexia is a disaster for the whole family. It is a big suffering for parents who feel themselves helpless. It is not only the type of eating disorder. More importantly, it is also a psychological disorder.
Anorexia Nervosa is a disorder in which preoccupation with dieting and thinness leads to excessive weight loss. The individual may not acknowledge that weight loss or restricted eating is a problem.
Anorexic girls are really proud of their bodies and appearance
