Anorexia nervosa

Anorexia nervosa, also known as anorexia nervosa, is a mental eating disorder characterized by deliberate dieting and weight loss. It mostly occurs in adolescence (about 85% occurs between the ages of 13 and 20), and the prevalence of women is about ten times higher than that of men. The prevalence can range from months to years. Although some people were overweight before dieting, they continued to diet until their normal weight. Others maintained their weight due to occupational needs, such as singers, actors, models, and athletes, and they had a higher incidence rate. Anorexia also comes from more affluent families, and other family members of patients are more likely to develop similar symptoms.
