Diagnosing Anorexia Nervosa

Being conscious of how we eat for health reasons is one thing. But self-starving is another. Anorexia is a disorder and is considered a psychological problem. Anorexics often deny they have a problem. They may even describe their behavior as a "life-style choice." It is an act of love and friendship, not disloyalty, to help an anorexic get treatment.
