Anorexia (symptom)

Anorexia is when someone doesn't want to eat or is afraid to eat because they want to be very thin. It's like when you don't want to eat your veggies because you don't like the taste, but for people with anorexia it's a big problem and it can make them very sick. They might start losing weight really fast and their body might not get enough nutrients it needs to stay healthy. People with anorexia might also feel very sad or angry or worried about their body and their shape even when they are very skinny. If you know someone who has anorexia, it's important to talk to an adult you trust to help them get better.
