Anorexia Nervosa: Physical Signs and Symptoms

People who suffer from Anorexia Nervosa tend to display significant weight loss. Often their physical state reflects a lack of sufficient body and facial fullness or roundness. Some physical markers could involve visible loss of muscular tissue and skeletal prominence in the bones due to malnutrition. Some features may include:

- Very low body weight

- Pale and pasty skin

- Sunken or dark-circled eyes and hollow cheeks

- Fragile or thinning hair and nails

- Inability to gain weight

- Feeling cold all the time due to slowed heart rate or low blood pressure leading to poor blood circulation
