Complex StartwithBasics: Anorexia simply means poor apatite, but may be quite healthy, without specifics cannot judge much. The normal, though not healthy, today is quite overweight/obese. Variants include anorexia nervosa, excess wt loss associated with unhealthy fixation on body shape & being thin & anorexia mirabilis, starvation to the point of death. Some people fast for any of a variety of mental/emotional reasons/beliefs.

Complex disease: This is a complex difficult disease that requires multidisciplinary approach. I would start by talking to your doctor to do a physical assessment to see how urgent your situation is. Good luck and be well!
