It is not necessary for a person who has an eating disorder symptom to appear as being underweight or even appear to have average weight in order to be diagnosed as suffering from signs and symptoms of the eating disorder. There are many instances of men and women in the world today that do not appear to be underweight and this certainly does not mean that they are any less in danger of the effects of eating disorders.
There are people who have an eating disorder symptom of some sort and these manifest themselves in a number of different ways, depending on whether the person is suffering from anorexia or bulimia nervosa or some other eating disorder.
Generally the eating disorder symptom may show up as dramatic weight loss in short periods of time or even wearing excessively baggy clothes or dressing in layers to hide the body's shape. In addition, obsession with weight as well as making complaints regarding weight problems is another eating disorder symptom.
There is also obsession with calories as well as fat content in foods as also being completely taken up with thoughts of exercising continuously which may be considered to be other signs of an eating disorder symptom.
There are so many different eating disorder symptoms that one can even think of hair loss, pale or gray appearance of the skin as well as dizziness and headaches as being an eating disorder symptom that specifically relates to anorexia and bulimia. Other eating disorder symptoms are low self-esteem, complaints of feeling cold continuously, low blood pressure as well as constipation or incontinence, for instance.
People who are given to intentionally starving themselves are sure to have an eating disorder symptom and this form of ailment is called anorexia nervosa. It causes them to become obsessed with food and weight.
A person suffering from anorexia nervosa will be sure to have an eating disorder symptom such as refusing to maintain their body weight as well as experiencing intense as well as overwhelming fear of putting on weight or becoming fat. It does not seem to matter to these people that their weight may not be abnormal, and they feel that their body weight, shape and size may directly be related to how good they may be feeling about themselves.
It is believed by the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-IV that anorexia nervosa as well as bulimia nervosa has psychological features that differ from person to person and these include major depressive disorders, anxiety, preoccupation with food, becoming perfectionists as well being uncomfortable while eating in public.
