Anorexia Nervosa

sorry i mean what is the daily amount of food and anarexic eats....

if you mean the amount of food to stay anorexic it's clearly not enough, but how much and what to eat Answers.com can not tell since Anorexia is a slow way of killing yourself. That information we will not provide.

yea... actually they can be, but its called manorexic!:D

Eating tissue paper does. Because when it reacts with liquid it bloats and makes you feel full.

Yes.

Generally, they have the same legal rights as any other medical patient does. For the most part, this involves doctor-patient-confidentialty, the right to refuse treatments, to sign away their rights, to accept treatments, to under-go testing, and so on. All of this applies unless the anorexic person is deemed unstable, mentally un-fit, or an immediate danger to themselves or others (usually to the point where is is severe enough to result in death).

A person who is anorexic usually; refuses to eat, losing weight, has dark circles under their eyes, excess body hair, mood swings, obsesses about food, wears baggy clothes, etc.
you have to look at how they eat if they dont actually eat but just poke at it or if they r cold all the time or talk about how theyre fat when theyre really skinny

Your body will feel weak and you will feel pain almost everywhere. Please don't starve yourself, it's not good. I did it once when I was 16 and I almost died. Don't make you same mistake I made. If you want to lose weight do it the old - fashioned way with daily exercise and a healthy diet.

Anorexia does not change how the kidneys are positioned.

I don't know about the structural bit (apart from getting skinny!) but the kidney failiure is due to the fact that the body needs 1200 calories per day to function properly (you then add on the 800 for excercise, however mild)! Each part of your body needs a certain amount of calories, even just so you can breathe, and when you arent eating enough, the first organ to be affected is the kidney. Hope this helps xx

People who suffer from anorexia do not get proper nutrition. Without eating sufficient amounts, anorexics are also at risk of dehydration as significant amounts of liquid come from the foods we eat. Anorexics may also limit themselves to water or non-calorie drinks, which means they do not consume healthy drinks like milk. With excess exercise and not enough liquid or nutrition, the body can have problems establishing a balance of electrolytes. Weakness, dizziness, naseau, fatigue, or faitning may occur as a result.

Anorexia nervosa usually develops over time, after one or more triggers specific to the individual. It is different for everyone.

Anorexia can be diagnosed by a doctor or a mental health professional after a physical and mental evaluation.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO People who do this is because they have anorexia a disease in which a girl/guy starves themselves to get skinny, from lack of nutrients you can be hospitalized and even DIE. X| just because your friends are doing it dosent mean you have to

Treatment for anorexia varries slightly, based on the severity of the case. It almost always involves intervention via a rehab, medical, or eating-disorder-treatment center. For Mild to Moderate Anorexia Treatment: Nutritional therapy, Drug therapy (to treat possible depression, for example), Food and Nutrition calsses (to regain trust and a healthy relatioship with food), mental therapy sessions, meals given to them that they must eat (to regain a healthy weight once again). For Severe Anorexia Treatment: Nutritional therapy, Drug therapy (to treat possible depression, for example), Food and Nutrition calsses (to regain trust and a healthy relatioship with food), mental therapy sessions, meals given to them that they must eat (to regain a healthy weight once again), Extensive therapy with friends and family, Rehab to learn to eat, IV or feeding tubes.

They are separte eating disorders, but do have a common thread. Binge eating is where a person "binges" often. A binge is where a person consume large amounts (to the tune of hundreds to thousands) of calories in a very short amount of time. Impulsive eating is where a person sees or thinks of a food and they just randomly decides to eat it.

(Anorexia Song) "Dear Diary..." Original Song by MikelWJ (Official Lyrics Video)

Brittany Snow began her battle wth anorexia as a teen. In the spotlight of Hollywood and the media as she got older, it progressed into her 20s. Unfortunately, she died young (possibly as a bad result of a weakened heart due to her anorexia and a combination of prescription drugs she was taking for another medical condition) in late December of 2009.

Yes it would be classed as a suicide as it is thought to be self-inflicted. On an actual death certificate, we would not list it as a suicide. The physician filling out the form would most likely state whatever the complication from anorexia was that caused death, such as cardiac arrest, cardiopulomnary arrest, etc. The death certificate, at least in America, is how deaths are "recorded," so that's what I'm assuming you are asking. Hope this helps! Dr. B.

Anorexia can (and does) affect all systems and parts of the body.

Family and friends (all relationships, really) play a large role in a person's eating disroder. It can cause an eating disorder or cause it to be worse, but, on the other hand, support can help a person with an eating disroder to recover.

well, basically you probably have a very low matabolism.

For wannabes it is but for most people like myself that just sounds stupid as i am a proper anorexic.

No. Anorexia is severe underweight. It has several causes, often psychological, but is not a cause itself.
