Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anorexia nervosa is characterized by a distorted self-perception of body image, where individuals see themselves as overweight even when they are dangerously underweight. This can lead to severely restrictive eating behavior and significant weight loss. An individual with anorexia nervosa is not generally of normal weight, but rather significantly underweight. A binge-purge cycle and a sense of loss of control over eating combined with purging are indicative of bulimia nervosa.
