might i add "mufla:D"....that anorexia is not a good role model for a child to follow! If this is what your statement was referring too.
Answers:
Yes, I would say she is suffering from the conotative definition of Anorexia and Bulimia. Anyone who has an extreme fear of gaining weight and restricts caloric intake so drastically would be considered anorexic. Most people who are neurotic(anxious, panicky) have higher chances of developing an eating disorder. Unfortunately urging her to eat will not help, telling her she's thin will not help. I feel once she reaches her goal weight she will hopefully revert to healthier eating habits so she may maintain her weight. Otherwise, she may become very emaciated.
