Anorexia can affect a person physically in a negative way, more than just through excessive weight loss. It can also harm someone on a mental level. Here are some of the problems that anorexia can do to a person... * Little to no body fat left, making a person more susceptible to the cold * Dry, flaky skin * Hair (on the head) loss, dullness, thinning, becoming more lank, loss of "shine" * Hair (on the body) growth of thin, "peach-fuzz" hair called lanugo * Weakness, fainting, and dizziness * Low heart rate, low blood pressure, and low body temperature * Depression * Organ malfunction, weakening, or failure * Malnutrition / starvation (which can be fatal)
