In some cases, the doctor may give the patients the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI) or a similar screening questionnaire to help determine whether the patient is at risk for developing anorexia or bulimia.
Try to explain to someone you trust what you get from having anorexia nervosa.
The most commonly affected by anorexia are young women in education aged between 15-25.
Someone with anorexia will also need to gain weight by eating well again.
Short of major long-term changes in the larger society, the best strategy for prevention of anorexia is the cultivation of healthy attitudes toward food, weight control, and beauty (or body image) within families.
