- Distorted body image
- Amenorrhea (absence of menstruation in women)
- Hair loss
- Fatigue

If you are concerned that you or someone you know may have anorexia nervosa, it is important to seek professional help immediately. Anorexia nervosa is a serious mental illness that can have life-threatening consequences.
