The word anorexia is, ironically, derived from the Greek word for “anorexic,” which is just a really hungry person. Yes, you read that correctly, anorexia is a medical disorder that was first described by an anorexic Greek physician around the second century BC. The earliest description of an anorexic woman dates back to the beginning of the second century AD, at the time of the Roman emperor Nero.
Anorexia nervosa is a highly disabling condition that causes severe weight loss, a lack of appetite, and malnutrition. It was thought to result from starvation, but it’s very unclear if the condition was a natural part of human physiology, or if it was created by a doctor trying to cure starvation. The disorder occurs in people who are at a stage of life when they are hungry, but they are not yet severely malnourished, and they often lose weight.
It is important to note that the word anorexic is not the same as anorexic in the medical sense. The difference is that anorexic is a term used in the medical world to describe someone who is being fed on a regular basis. In anorexia nervosa, the condition is treated as a medical problem.
In the medical sense, someone with an anorexic state is a person who is hungry all the time, but that person is not starving. In anorexia nervosa, the condition is treated as a medical problem to be cured. The disorder tends to be more common in females. It is much more common in teens and adults.
Anorexia nervosa is a medical condition where the body is not getting enough of the nutrients it needs to survive. In anorexia, the body is not getting enough of the nutrients it needs to survive. And that causes the person to feel very hungry all the time.
I find that the term anorexia nervosa is somewhat confusing. Usually, anorexia is treated, as I did in the first sentence, as a medical problem. A medical problem, however, is not necessarily a medical problem. According to the National Institutes of Health, the term “medically defined psychiatric disorder” is not a term used in the diagnosis and treatment of anorexia.
In the medical world, anorexia nervosa is considered a disorder that could cause severe physical signs and symptoms such as weight loss, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation or, not always, no periods), and other physical symptoms such as severe muscle and abdominal pain. These signs and symptoms are not necessarily indicative of the eating disorder, because many people with anorexia do not necessarily have the medical illness.

The issue is that it’s often confused with anorexia bulimia.
If you’re looking for a way to say “anorexic” without sounding like you’re doing so, check out these two words: anorexia and bulimia. They’re spelled the same, but anorexics tend to have many fewer teeth than bulimics, so they’re more likely to be able to say the word anorexia without sounding like they haven’t got the strength.
