What is
Anorexia Nervosa?

Anorexia Nervosa is a mental health issue that can impact individuals in different ways. Understanding and addressing it through therapy can lead to improved well-being and quality of life.

What Is It?

Anorexia Nervosa is a serious eating disorder where someone tries to keep their weight as low as possible, often by eating very little or over-exercising. They usually have an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted view of their body, even if they’re already underweight. It’s not just about food — it’s often tied to deep emotional struggles and a need for control.

Common Experiences

People experiencing anorexia nervosa may notice persistent emotional distress, shifts in mood or behavior, and challenges with daily functioning. They might struggle to concentrate, feel physically unwell, or withdraw from social situations. The specific experiences can vary from person to person, but they often disrupt overall wellbeing.

How It Can Affect You

Anorexia Nervosa can interfere with physical and psychological health, relationships, work, and overall well-being. It may make it harder to enjoy daily life or manage stress effectively. It can cause extreme fatigue, anxiety, depression and seriously impact internal physical systems. Sometimes, inpatient support in a specialist unit is necessary.
