Eating Disorders: Aneroxia Nervosa

In fact, anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, intense weight gain and a distorted perception of body weight fear. People with anorexia place a high value on controlling their weight and shape, through extreme efforts that tend to interfere significantly with the activities in their lives. They will do almost anything (if possible) to prevent weight gain, including hunger. People with anorexia have a distorted body image. They think they are fat even if they are extremely thin. As we know, anorexia nervosa is an emotional disorder which focuses on food, but many researchers believe it is an attempt to deal with perfectionism and the desire to gain control strictly regulating food and weight.
