Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. Could you please tell me what the symptoms of neurotic anorexia are?Doctor's answer:
Neurotic anorexia is a type of eating disorder that is influenced by certain psychological factors. It is primarily caused by excessive concern about body shape, worry about excessive bowel movements leading to obesity, and thus affects food intake through various means, such as vomiting or purging. In severe cases, it can lead to electrolyte imbalance and endocrine disorders. However, patients still believe that their weight below the normal standard is a state of obesity.
