Anorexia

Anorexia is an eating disorder where people starve themselves. Anorexia commonly begins in young people around the onset of puberty. Individuals suffering from anorexia have extreme weight loss. People with this disorder may have an intense fear of weight gain, even when they are underweight. They may diet or exercise excessively, or use other methods such as laxatives, to lose weight.
