Anorexia nervosa is a serious, often chronic, and life-threatening
eating disorder defined by a refusal to maintain minimal body weight within 15 percent of an individual's normal weight. Other
essential features of this disorder include an intense fear of gaining weight, a distorted body image, and amenorrhea (absence
of at least three consecutive menstrual cycles when they are otherwise expected to occur).
