It depends on how severe the anorexia is for the individual, along with if they are in treatment or not. For minor cases, the person may still seem "normal" or "average", or just a bit on the thinner side. For more severe cases, the person may seem emaciated or dying.

∙ 14y agoIt depends, as there are many levels and severities of anorexia. Those that are not "too thin" can look perfectly normal. As an anorexic case becomes more severe and the person loses more weight, they will begin to look thin and weak. Bones may protrude, hair can fall out, skin may become dry and flaky, nails can become brittle / discolored, and the person may be weak and prone to dizziness / fainting.

∙ 10y agoThere is no set appearance, and this is part of what makes diagnosing anorexia so difficult. The most prevailing image is of an individual (usually a woman) who is sickly and emaciated, severely under weight and malnourished. Unfortunately, this is only the most extreme cases. Millions of men and women are anorexic and harming their bodies but may appear to be a a "healthy" or "normal" weight. It can take months for outwards signs of the disease, such as hair loss, to occur. Meanwhile, harm is already being done internally to vital organs like the heart and kidneys.

What do you think a garden would look like if no one took care of it for a few years.?
The un-cared garden for a few years will look like a jungle. Because in a jungle, the growth of plants will be uncontrolled. Hence, many unwanted plants (weeds) will appear and compete with the garden plants. It will give a look of a jungle.
