If your body weight is much lower than it should be for your sex and height, the doctor will run tests to see if there is a physiological problem or disease. He or she will probably also ask you some questions that would point to a psychological disorder such as anorexia, and if he or she suspects it you will undergo more psychological testing for a formal diagnosis.
