Not really. For short, it is most commonly referred to as anorexia instead of its full name of anorexia nervosa. In slang terms (not medically recognized), it is referred to as "ana".
The scientific name for anorexia is Anorexia Nervosa.
It is just a shorter version of the full name. Anorexia is short for Anorexia Nervosa. Therefore, Anorexia Nervosa is commonly referred to as Anorexia. (As is Bulimia. Bulimia is short for Bulimia Nervosa.)
The full name, "Anorexia Nervosa", should be capitalized. The simple and more common usage of "anorexia" does not need to be capitalized.
Their is not a difference between the two things. Anorexia Nervosa is the name of the actual eating disorder. The other eating disorder is Bulimia Nervosa, and it is different from Anorexia Nervosa.
There is none.
Anorexia nervosa means "neurotic loss of appetite".
Anorexia is the correct spelling.

I do not think it can be associated with anorexia nervosa, but I think it can be related with bulimia nervosa

They are the same thing. Anorexia Nervosa is the full medical name, while anorexia is the shortened version used in spoken language.Actually no, they are not the same thing. Anorexia is the clinical term for loss of appetite, while Anorexia Nervosa(AN) is a serious mental disorder. AN is often shortened to simply anorexia, especially in common language, but technically they are different disorders.
