Hi,

Following are the symptoms of anorexia:

Deliberate self-starvation with major weight loss

Fear of gaining weight

Refusal to eat

Denial of hunger

Constant exercising

Greater amounts of hair on the body or face

Sensitivity to cold temperatures

Absent or irregular menstrual periods

Loss of scalp hair

A self-perception of being fat when the person is really too thin

Thinking may be confused or slowed, and an anorexic patient may have poor memory and lack judgment.
