Anorexia Nervosa Health Center

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder which causes people to obsess about weight and the food they eat. Those suffering from anorexia nervosa attempt to maintain a weight that is far below normal for their age and height. To prevent themselves from gaining weight or to continue losing weight, they may starve themselves or exercise excessively. Anorexia nervosa is not actually about food, but is an unhealthy way to try and cope with emotional problems. Those with anorexia nervosa often equate thinness with self-worth.
