Anorexia is a serious medical condition, not just a phase or a fad. If you have anorexia, you worry a lot about how your body looks and how much you weigh. You go to a lot of effort to avoid putting on weight, even though you weigh less than you should for your height. Doing this can damage your health and put your life in danger. It's important to get help.
Your doctor will help you find the support and treatments you need to stop anorexia taking over your life.
We've brought together the best research about anorexia and looked at the evidence about how to treat it. You can use our information to talk to your doctor and decide which treatments are best for you.
