The opposite of bulimia. Another name for it is anorexia nervosa. Is a potential life threatening and psychological eating disorder that does not have a current cure but people have recovered from anorexia and there is potential treatment. People with anorexia constantly fear gaining weight. It is a topic that should not be made fun of. It has one of the highest death rates for mental illness. So far it has killed between 5% and 20% of people who do have anorexia. Heart disease is the major cause of death for those of you with severe anorexia. Other causes of death for people who have anorexia are electrolyte imbalance, suicide, complications, etc. All info is from Google and Wikipedia.
Anorexia or anorexia nervosa is a illness which is an overwhelming fear of becoming fat and will refuse to eat enough and thus, become thinner and thinner when time goes by.

A serious mental disorder causing a person to see themselves as "fat" and undeserving of food no matter what their size is .
It is not a choice and it is not dieting gone wrong.
Anybody can get it and a lot of times therapy is required to recover

It is a mental weakness of those who are trying to control an aspect of their lives. Anorexics are faced with a choice eat and live or don't eat and die. Most take the easy way out of their 'difficult' lives by starving themselves the death.

Anorexia is a communicable disease caught by many of Hollywood's famous actors, and also rich white kid's from reality TV shows (see The Hills and OC). It causes an unintended emotional need to lose weight, by eating little or no food, and going on many food strikes.
Did you know that 75.12% of all the paparazzi have Anorexia from following around celebrities so much?

Atypical Anorexia (AAN) is a legit but highly specific Eating Disorder sub-type that started being misused for social media reasons in May, 2021.
HAES-supportive nutritionists, wellness advisors, and other non-physicians from within the ballooning "not-weight-loss" industry hand out the AAN "diagnosis" like a "get out of jail free" card for morbid obesity.
This social media trend harms the person (by not seeking further real medical advice) and harms those in the actual ED-supportive community due to the public now considering AAN as fake ED or joke.
Practically, one with actual AAN has quickly lost a lot of weight, is still being driven by an intense fear of weight gain, uses Pro-Ana behaviors and methods, and (despite achieving a normal weight) still wishes to lose further toward an "anorexic" < 17.5 under weight BMI.
AAN is not a "diet", nor failed attempt at dieting declared as "recovery" from "anorexia".
This identity-politics-driven misclassification of a specific real disorder, Binge-eating Disorder (a type of OSFED) into an entirely different class of eating disorders (Anorexia) could be considered grounds for medical malpractice.
However, the "wellness advisors", "nutritionists" and "intuitive eating specialists" that most commonly hand out AAN affirmations are not a regulated field like the practice of medicine or psychiatry, and are not subject to malpractice.
Such a false-diagnosis of Atypical Anorexia is considered to be Tessorexia.

Tessie: I briefly flirted with a diet and excercise for weight loss, but realized from my social media followers that the whole concept of ob*sity is a dirty patriarchal word and that the "BMI" scale itself is racist. "I am a recovering anorexic."
Sasha: Going on a diet and quitting is NOT "recovering" from Atypical Anorexia. I've seen your channel. You clearly demonstrate eating disorder behavior, but it's called "binge eating disorder". Lots of real people suffer from that. There are legit medical and mental health treatments available for that eating disorder.
Sasha: Unless the DSM-5 requires a special secret decoder ring or red-tinted sunglasses (like out of the back of a cereal box) then no, no you don't. If you're just trying to stay "relevant" to your social media followers because of your "brand" and otherwise reject the BMI scale itself then the only "rexia" you have is a social-media condition called Tessorexia.
