Best Answer

No, no eating disorder of any kind should be ignored (whether it be weight loss or weight gain). The person must be addressed about any concerns friends or family may have. The problem may be deeper than that, and the person will need support, perhaps even therapy. If the person is being ignored and they're serious about proceeding with the eating disorder, then you know the person is in real danger. Either way it should be addressed.
