Answer
Anorexia is a psychiatric illness - its physical symptoms are due to underlying psychological issues.

If you believe that you have anorexia, you should contact your Dr or a threapist in order to be assessed.  If you do not believe this to be the case, you should get your Dr to arrange some tests to make sure that there isn't a physical reason for your symptoms.

Please come back if you want any more information on the subject of eating disorders.

All the best
