Therapy for Anorexia in Brooklyn, NYC with Flourish Psychology

What Is Anorexia Nervosa?

Anorexia Nervosa, typically shortened to just “anorexia,” is a type of eating disorder that typically involves significant caloric restriction until a person is considered severely underweight. 

Those with anorexia often refrain from all food or eat very small amounts of low calorie food. They also tend to have a distorted body image, seeing themselves as “bigger” than they are, and have a debilitating fear of gaining weight.

Anorexia can be very dangerous. Calories are necessary for the body to function properly, and so those with anorexia may develop health issues as a result of caloric restriction.

Obsessions with weight loss and preventing weight gain can also affect a person’s relationships and work life.
