It's an eating disorder characterized by extreme dieting, obsession with food and exercise, and severe weight loss. It's more of an emotional disorder and those who suffer from it are typically young adult women. They tend to be perfectionists who feel they have little control over their lives and their weight is one area they can control. This is not a disorder that can be treated and cured quickly as has been commonly reported in the media about young female celebrities who drop a lot of weight in a short period of time. This is a disorder that goes on for years.

anorexia, is when you starve your self, because of the pressure to be thin. it is more common around girls, but it can happen to guys. a lot of people struggle with this, cuz people can't accept who they are, body and all.

anorexia is not what you are talkin about,
its the illness which is opposite to obesity,
in obesity a person tends to eat more and becomes fat,
in anorexia a person thinks he/she is too much fat so the person stops eating and loses appetite and loses his/her weight.this is mostly observed with females.
