Anorexia nervosa is an illness that usually occurs in
teenage girls, but it can also occur in teenage boys, and adult women
and men. People with anorexia are obsessed with being thin. They lose a
lot of weight and are terrified of gaining weight. They believe they are
fat even though they are very thin. Anorexia isn't just a problem with
food or weight. It's an attempt to use food and weight to deal with
emotional problems.
Anorexia (a-neh-RECK-see ah) nervosa, typically called
anorexia, is a type of eating disorder that mainly affects girls and
young women. A person with this disorder has an intense fear of gaining
weight and limits the food she eats.
