What is Anorexia Nervosa?
Anorexia Nervosa is a serious eating disorder characterised by extreme weight loss, distorted body image, and an intense fear of gaining weight
Understanding Anorexia Nervosa
People with anorexia often have an extreme desire to be thin, which can result in unhealthy weight loss, malnutrition, and other serious health problems.
Men and women of any age can have anorexia.
