Anorexia Nervosa is an eating disorder which forces the patient to weigh and measure their body excessively and take measures that lead to excessive weight loss despite its negative effects on their health. The self-esteem of those suffering from Anorexia Nervosa is largely dependent on their body shape and weight. The most common symptom of Anorexia is that the patient will take all extreme measures to cut down his or her weight while ignoring its impact on his or her health. An Anorexic patient may also develop some abnormal habits like cutting the food into small pieces, avoiding eating in front of other people and making excuses to avoid all those social functions or events where food is involved. The majority of Anorexia Nervosa patients are generally females who often face disruption of their menstrual cycle with the signs of starvation, extreme hair loss, dry skin, yellowish palms and soles etc. due the ill effects of their addiction to lose weight as much as they can while ignoring their health.

The worst effect of Anorexia Nervosa is that it damages the vital organs of its patients (including their heart, kidneys and brains) causing the death of patients due to starvation. And if a patient is not satisfied with results of his or her weight loss efforts or if someone forces them to eat food, he or she can even attempt a suicide. So, if a person is suffering from Anorexia, he or she must seek its treatment immediately. An Anorexic patient can be treated at residential Anorexia Nervosa treatment center.

While choosing an Anorexia Treatment center, it is very important to make sure that the treatment center is well-equipped with all the equipments, doctors or experts and environment that can not only treat Anorexia but also the other medical problems related to the disease. It is worth to mention that the treatment of all acute cases of Anorexia Nervosa include tube feeding to provide the patient all the nutrient which are critically important for their survival. If the patient is capable to eat on his or her, the Anorexia Treatment center must also have a nutritionist to help them. So be very careful when it comes to choosing a treatment center for Anorexia Nervosa.
