Anorexia
This
disease manifests itself in the rejection of food. People who suffer from it
have a distorted image of their own body: they imagine that they look fat,
despite being thin or even extremely thin.

live with an intense fear of gaining weight, eat little food, count calories,
are hyperactive, are socially isolated and often use laxatives.

weight loss, fatigue, tiredness, dizziness, excessive sensitivity to cold, hair
loss, dry skin, heart problems.

with bulimia are afraid of fat becoming, however, they secretly eat
compulsively and make themselves vomit after eating. They avoid social
gatherings and may use weight loss medications.

in the cheeks, fatigue, muscle aches, throat irritation, infections in the gums
and loss of enamel on the teeth.
