Ana

Ana, short for Anorexia Nervosa, is a serious eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image, leading individuals to restrict their food intake significantly. People with Ana may see themselves as overweight even when they are underweight, often engaging in extreme dieting or excessive exercise. This condition can have severe physical and psychological consequences, affecting health, mood, and social interactions. Treatment typically involves medical care, nutritional counseling, and therapy to address the emotional aspects of the disorder and promote healthy eating behaviors.
