Anorexia Nervosa (as know as “AN”) is a kind of eating disorder, in which, according to the author Ranna Parek, a sick person needs to be at least fifteen percent under the normal weight for their body type. The author says the word of Anorexia comes from Greek and the meaning is” lacking or avoidance of food (Kalodner, 2003).
