What is Anorexia Nervosa?
Anorexia nervosa is a serious and potentially life-threatening eating disorder characterized by extreme food restriction, intense fear of weight gain, and a distorted body image. Individuals with anorexia often struggle with both physical health complications and deep emotional challenges.
At Virtue Recovery Las Vegas, we provide individualized anorexia treatment that addresses the medical, psychological, and nutritional needs of each client. Our approach combines evidence-based therapies with holistic healing practices to restore health and promote recovery.
5 Warning Signs of Anorexia Nervosa
Extreme Weight Loss or Refusal to Maintain a Healthy Weight
Rapid or significant weight loss, or the inability to maintain a healthy body weight, is one of the most visible signs of anorexia. This may come with strict dieting, food avoidance, or refusal to eat entire food groups.
Intense Fear of Weight Gain
Individuals with anorexia may express overwhelming fear of gaining weight even when underweight. This fear often drives unhealthy behaviors around food, exercise, and body image.
Distorted Body Image
Those struggling with anorexia often perceive themselves as overweight despite being underweight. This body distortion fuels restrictive eating patterns and reinforces harmful beliefs.
Preoccupation with Food and Dieting
Constantly thinking about food, calories, dieting, or rigid food rules is a common warning sign. Ironically, while restricting intake, individuals often become preoccupied with planning or talking about food.
Social Withdrawal and Mood Changes
Teens and adults with anorexia may avoid meals, withdraw from social settings, and show increased irritability, anxiety, or depression. Emotional health often deteriorates alongside physical health.
