Answer 1

Respuesta:

Signs and symptoms of anorexia

Signs and symptoms of anorexia include:

if you're under 18, your weight and height being lower than expected for your age

if you're an adult, having an unusually low body mass index (BMI)

missing meals, eating very little or avoiding eating any foods you see as fattening

believing you are fat when you are a healthy weight or underweight

taking medicine to reduce your hunger (appetite suppressants)

your periods stopping (in women who have not reached menopause) or not starting (in younger women and girls)

physical problems, such as feeling lightheaded or dizzy, hair loss or dry skin

Some people with anorexia may also make themselves sick, do an extreme amount of exercise, or use medicine to help them poo (laxatives) or to make them pee (diuretics) to try to stop themselves gaining weight from any food they do eat.

Getting help for anorexia

Getting help and support as soon as possible gives you the best chance of recovering from anorexia.

If you think you may have anorexia, even if you are not sure, see your GP as soon as you can.

They will ask you questions about your eating habits and how you're feeling, and will check your overall health and weight.

They may also refer you for some blood tests to make sure your weight loss is not caused by something else.

If they think you may have anorexia, or another eating disorder, they should refer you to an eating disorder specialist or team of specialists.

It can be very hard to admit you have a problem and to ask for help. It may make things easier if you bring a friend or loved one with you to your appointment.

You can also talk in confidence to an adviser from eating disorders charity Beat by calling its adult helpline on 0808 801 0677 or youth helpline on 0808 801 0711.
