I'm not sure exactly what Anorexia is. Does it have to be deliberate starvation? Because I never feel hungry, sometimes to the point where I can go a day without eating and just not notice until I stand up and almost pass out. Basically I forget to eat. Is this anorexia? Some other eating disorder? Or just wierd?
Answer:
Hi there,I would recommend a checkup with your medical doctor to check things out and be sure everything is ok. Going without eating for a day is not normal, and can be harmful.In terms of diagnostic criteria, DSM criteria for anorexia nervosa is as follows:-Refusal to maintain a body weight that is at or above the minimal normal weight for age and height (below 85% IBW)
-Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though the person is underweight
-Denying the seriousness of having a low body weight, or having a distorted image of one's appearance or shape
-In women who've started having periods, the absence of a period for at least three consecutive menstrual cyclesIn case you need it, here is a link to a eating disorders treatment finder:
