Anorexia

Anorexia

*ANOREXIA*

Anorexia? What sort of word is this? Chill… I’d explain it in simple terms and I’m sure you’d get it.

Anorexia simply is a form of eating disorder, resulting in very low weight in comparison to stature. Anorexia in simplest terms refers to self-starvation and lack of appetite.

Actually, we can have two major classifications;
Binge/Purge Type: The individual suffering from this type of eating disorder will purge when he or she eats. Funny right? But, it’s true… Smiles. This is typically a result of the overwhelming feelings of guilt a sufferer would experience in relation to eating; they compensate by vomiting, abusing laxatives, or excessively exercising.
Restrictive: In this form, the individual will fiercely limit the quantity of food consumed, characteristically ingesting a minimal amount that is well below their body’s caloric needs, effectively slowly starving himself or herself.
Though two classifications of anorexia exists, both types exhibit similar symptoms, such as irrational fear of weight gain and abnormal eating patterns.
