Anorexia — Which Doctor Should I See?

Anorexia is a medical symptom meaning loss of appetite, while anorexia nervosa is a serious eating disorder involving restricted food intake and distorted body image. Anorexia can result from various medical conditions.

Anorexia can be caused by infections, medications, cancer, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, depression, anxiety, or other medical conditions. Identifying the underlying cause is important for treatment.

Consult a doctor if loss of appetite lasts more than a few days, is accompanied by weight loss, weakness, or other symptoms, or if you have concerns about your eating habits and health.
