Description
Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes an eating disorder characterized by low body weight and body image distortion with an obsessive fear of gaining weight. Individuals with anorexia often control body weight by voluntary starvation, purging, vomiting, excessive exercise, or other weight control measures, such as diet pills or diuretic drugs.Source

Thanks for this; it infuriates me that most people don't think you're anorexic until you're so emaciated that you can hardly walk. That's NOT always what anorexia is. It screws up your mind, it' a mental disease and society doesn't realize this. Getting skinny, believe it or no, is the side effect. Please spread the word.
