Anorexia nervosa is an emotional eating disorder where people starve themselves because they perceive themselves as overweight even when they are underweight. There are two main types - restricting food intake and binge eating with purging. Causes can include societal pressures to be thin from celebrities and magazines as well as emotional factors. Signs include being underweight but still feeling overweight, along with physical symptoms like absent periods and psychological symptoms like depression. Diagnosis involves questionnaires and medical tests, while treatment focuses on weight gain through therapy, medication, stress management, and family support.
