Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by an intense restriction of food intake and a deep fear of gaining weight, accompanied by a distorted perception of one's own body.
Warning signs: Marked weight loss, avoidance of meals, excessive preoccupation with calories or figure, as well as mood changes and social isolation.
Why seek care: Beyond weight, it can affect the heart, the bones, the hormonal balance, and the emotional state, which is why early care makes an important difference.
Who treats it? Its approach is usually multidisciplinary: the psychiatrist and the psychologist support the emotional part, while the nutritionist and the general practitioner support physical recovery. If you notice these signs in yourself or in someone close, reaching out to these professionals is a valuable first step.
