Distorted body image: People with anorexia nervosa (an) think they're overweight when they're not, and restrict what they eat-often severely. An can affect your thyroid, body chemistry, heart rhythm, digestive tract, kidneys, muscles, nerves, brain, bones, teeth, and skin. Females with an can have irregular (or no) periods. Anyone who even might have an should see a doctor as soon as possible to prevent serious illness or death.
