Anorexia nervosa is a complex condition.
Because of this, there is a tendency to react in a way that may alleviate an immediate concern but is not necessarily in line with long term goals and values.
The most notorious ones are acute kidney failure, liver damage, and heart failure.
These individuals understand the nuances of the disorder and can support the individual and their loved ones in recognizing the level of care needed and determining how the individual can access this support.
Having accurate information can help you explain your concerns to your loved one.
Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any mental health issue.
