    Anorexia nervosa is characterized by low weight and a strong desire to be slim due to a fear of gaining weight which leads to dietary restriction. It typically develops during adolescence and people with anorexia nervosa are often too thin to the point of emaciation as they obsessively count calories and exercise vigorously while isolating themselves. Globally, about 10% of people will experience an eating disorder during their lifetime. Anorexia nervosa can impact mood, self-esteem, perfectionism, and interpersonal relationships. Specific family characteristics like substance abuse or violence can increase risk of developing an eating disorder due to social pressures that glorify thinness.
