​​Understanding Anorexia Nervosa

 

Anorexia Nervosa is a serious mental health condition that affects people of all ages and genders. It involves restrictive eating, an intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted body image. Left untreated, it can lead to severe physical and emotional health challenges. However, with the right support, recovery is possible.

​

There are many misconceptions about Anorexia Nervosa, so it's important to understand:

​

  • Anorexia Nervosa is not a choice. It is a complex mental health condition with both psychological and physiological factors.

​​

  • It’s more than just dieting. The disorder often stems from deeper emotional and psychological issues, not just concerns about weight.

​​

  • Recovery is possible. Even if you've been struggling for a long time, treatment can make a real difference.

​

​Recognising the Signs and Symptoms

​

Anorexia Nervosa can present in various ways, but common signs include:

​

  • Restricting food intake to the point of starvation.

​​

  • Intense fear of gaining weight, even when underweight.

​​

​​

  • Physical symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and menstrual changes.

​​

​​

If you recognise these symptoms in yourself or someone you care about, it may be time to seek professional support.
