    Anorexia is an eating disorder whose medical name is anorexia nervosa. The majority of patients are female, and the mortality rate is as high as 20%.

    Some people think that anorexia is similar to obsession, at first, the patient just eats and drinks less for the sake of "**", but gradually develops obsessive thoughts, or even does not eat or drink, and the consequence is to cause severe weight loss and anorexia.

    The main symptom of anorexia is a lack of interest in food and a lack of appetite to eat. The patient's thinking is far from the actual situation, even if he is already very thin, he still feels that he is fat. According to the standard diagnosis of the American Psychiatric Association, patients with anorexia tend to weigh less than the standard BMI15.

    What are the implications?

    Patients suffer from malnutrition due to long-term excessive dieting, which affects physiological changes, including menstrual disorders or even menopause. Common symptoms include:** Rough and chapped, pubescent appearance, decreased body temperature, slow heartbeat, weakness, dehydration, paleness, inability to concentrate, even feeling anxious or depressed, poor heart function, and even fainting.

    At the same time, due to the lack of fat in the patient's body, it is easy to chills and chills. In severe cases, it can lead to heart failure and even death.

    How is it**? The diagnosis and treatment of anorexia must depend on the patient's condition, and if the condition is severe, it is even necessary to be admitted to the hospital for observation and treatment by psychologists, specialists and dietitians. If the condition is not too serious, it is also possible to ** under the guidance of a psychologist.

    It is worth noting that if a patient with anorexia is still in the development period and the organs have been damaged, the function may not return to normal after the condition improves, which will affect physiological development and growth.

    Whether the patient is able to ** or not must also depend on the patient's willpower, and the course of treatment varies from a few months to several years. The most important thing is to ** as soon as possible and don't wait until the condition is very serious to come to the doctor.

    It is worth mentioning that many patients are reluctant to admit that they have anorexia in the early stage of the disease, and family members ignore the patient's condition due to busy lives or infrequent meals together.
