SUFFERING FROM AN EATING DISORDER, CONTACT THE
ANOREXIA CLINIC IN LONDON.

WHAT IS ANOREXIA?

• Anorexia is an eating disorder and mental health
  condition that makes a person feel they are fat,
  even if they are underweight. This distorted body
  image causes them to eat a lot less food or
  exercise too much, or both and can make them very
  ill.

HOW TO IDENTIFY ANOREXIA NERVOSA?

• There are certain signs and symptoms that can
  indicate if a person has an eating disorder.
• Physical signs and symptoms
• Noticeable weight loss
• Intolerance to cold
• Abdominal pain, constipation, acid reflux and
  other digestive issues
• Dizziness

4

• Emotional signs and symptoms
• Fear of eating in public or feeling uncomfortable
  while eating with others
• Withdrawal from social events
• Extreme mood swings
• Intense and unreasonable fear of gaining weight
• A distorted body image
• Poor self-esteem

5

• Behavioural signs
• Dressing in layers or loose clothing to disguise
  weight loss
• A preoccupation with weight loss and dieting
  concerns about food choices and nutritional data
  (calories, fat content, etc.)
• Skipping meals or eating very little during meals
• Purging through vomiting, or using laxatives and
  diuretics.
• Unusual food rituals, such as chewing
  excessively, not allowing different food items on
  a plate to touch, and eating only certain food
  types (for example, vegetables and salads only)

• The presence of these signs and symptoms does not
  indicate with absolute certainty that the person
  does have an eating disorder. Only a professional
  medical practitioner and eating disorder
  specialist can properly diagnose the condition,
  so its best to choose Ellern Mede.
