Anorexia is an eating disorder that is characterized by an extreme fear of gaining weight or becoming obese, and involves restrictive eating habits, intense dieting, and extreme weight loss. People with anorexia typically have an intense fear of being judged by others based on their body size or shape. They may also have an unrealistic perception of their body size or shape, thinking they are overweight even when they are dangerously underweight.

Anorexia can have serious physical and psychological effects. People with anorexia often experience extreme fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and fainting due to low energy levels. They may also experience constipation, dry skin, brittle nails, and hair loss due to malnutrition. Psychological effects can include depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and an inability to cope with stress. In extreme cases, anorexia can be fatal.

Treatment for anorexia can include a combination of psychotherapy, nutritional counseling, and medication. Treatment typically focuses on helping the person regain a healthy weight and improve their body image and self-esteem. It can also involve helping the person cope with stress, find healthier ways to cope with emotions, and modify their behavior.
