Anorexia nervosa is characterized by abnormally low body-weight, intense fear of increasing weight, and a distorted perception of body weight. People with anorexia attach great importance to controlling their weight and shape, using extreme force, which significantly interferes with work in their lives.
To prevent weight gain or continue failing weight, people with anorexia are usually severely limited in the amount of food they eat. However, they can control calories by vomiting after eating or abusing laxatives, diet aids, diuretics, or enemas. People may also try to lose weight by exercising excessively.
