What to do about my sister who I believe is anorexic?!


Question: What to do about my sister who I believe is anorexic!?
Over the last 5 months I've noticed a complete change in my sister!. She's become so distant and cold to the family!. She has always been known for being the life and soul of the party, making us all laugh and being so charismatic!. Then around 5 months ago she split with her long term boyfriend!. They'd been together for 5 years, so naturally she was devastated by that!. Slowly I noticed she has become reserved and detached from herself and us!.
During mealtimes she pushes food around her plate and only eats the vegetables!. I know she doesn't eat at any other point throughout the day, therefore she can only be eating those few morsels at dinner!.
Her exercise regime has also increased!. She's always been fit and healthy, but recently she has been jogging excessively and doing excess amounts of physical labor where she can!.
The clothing she wears has also been modified!.Her style has become increasingly baggy and clothes that hang off her, and don't shape her at all!. This contrasts greatly to her usual attire!.
My sister weighs 90lbs and is 5'5" tall!. She's 18!. Am I right to be concerned!? What can I do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
