Solution

Anorexia nervosa is a severe eating disorder in which the sufferer has a strong fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. Even when they are underweight, people with anorexia frequently perceive themselves as overweight and drastically restrict their food consumption. They may also engage in excessive activity or keep to strict diets. This disorder causes considerable weight loss and various health issues, including weakness, low blood pressure, hormone imbalance, and even organ damage. Psychological concerns such as low self-esteem, perfectionism, and cultural pressure to be skinny frequently contribute to the disease. Therapy, nutritional guidance, and medical care are common treatments.
