A member asked:
What are the signs of early stage anorexia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obsessions: Early symptoms of anorexia usually include increasing obsession with one's weight and compulsive exercise. This is followed by intentional weight loss and attempts to conceal the weight loss by wearing baggy or oversized clothing. The individual will begin to develop a distorted body image thinking they are fat. This is a serious illness with high mortality. Treatment should be started early.
