Anorexia Athletica
In this Article:
Anorexia Athletica is a disorder that is most often recognized in competitive athletes, but it can affect anyone with a preoccupation with weight and/or diet. It occurs when someone starts compulsive exercising and will do so in an amount of time or intensity that is beyond normal.
Although exercise and nutrition are an important part of daily activities one must understand that there is a healthy limit to everything we do. Someone who is suffering from Anorexia Athletica will force themseleves to exercise to control a body image that is often distorted by their own perception. Even though Anorexia Athletica is not yet considered a medical condition it still goes hand in hand with other eating disorders such as Anorexia Nervosa and Compulsive Exercising.
