Anorexia is an eating disorder marked by a psychological need and compulsion to control one's weight by starving the body. Anorexia tends to warp the person's viewpoint of what they look like as they tend to wither away from starvation.
There are no medications available to treat this disorder. Therapy sessions are recommended as well as someone to help the anorexic person maintain healthy eating habits. Typically obsessed by the numbers on the scale, it can be an uphill battle to get people suffering from the disease to eat anything at all, even healthy foods.
There are a number of websites devoted to helping those who suffer from the disease as well as those who love the person afflicted with the illness. The Mayoclinic.com offers one of the most comprehensive guides to finding help as well as listing symptoms of the disorder.
