A member asked:
If you start to eat normally but don't want to gain weight, can i say that anorexia has been cured. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No desire to eat: Anorexia is when a person has no desire to eat (regardless of the cause). Therefore, if she wants to eat and starts eating normally, she does not have anorexia. Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric disorder in which one of the symptoms is anorexia. If she has anorexia nervosa, and starts to "eat normally", but doesn't want to gain weight even though still underweight... then she is still sick.
