Anorexia nervosa is an internal disorder in which the person, (who probably has no control over their lives), tries to control their appetite by extreme measure. Most of the people with the illness are women, but, it can also affect males. They might also think they are fat, even when they are very thin. Anorexia nervosa is probably a mental disorder, which might be cured by therapy and medical drugs, but, there is also the possibility that it is a physical disorder of the brain caused by a lack of zinc, deficiency of serotonin, and/or a problem with the hypothalamus gland.
