Anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image. People with anorexia may engage in extreme food restriction, over-exercise, or other behaviors to control their weight. This disorder can have severe physical, emotional, and mental consequences if left untreated.
