Seek help from a medical professional specializing in the treatment of eating disorders in your age group. It's not as simply as "just eating." Twin studies have shown that anorexia nervosa is actually a brain disorder; it's not a psychological issue but rather a medical one. A person with anorexia should seek assistance from a medical specialist to help them cope with the illness, not a psychiatrist, counselor, or general practice doctor. Anorexia can be fatal so you should get help ASAP but make sure it's from a reputable specialist.
