Is Anorexia An Eating Disorder?
hello..i am 14, 4 10 and 86 pounds. i think i may be developing anorexia. i dont eat breakfast or lunch and i usually have to eat some dinner since we eat dinner as a family. my parents have mentioned concern for my weight before but i got better, and now im getting worse again. i was eating normally but i ll be going back to school soon and i dont want people to think im fat. what do you think, is this an eating disorder?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that this is too early to say that this is anorexia because before labeling the symptoms as anorexia the systemic cause need to be found out, but this is nothing to worry because such phase is likely to come in this age group, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
