Anorexia Therapy in San Jose

What is Anorexia?

Anorexia is a compulsion to avoid eating, which negatively affects both one's physical and emotional health. Eating disorders are all encompassing. They affect every part of the person's life, including feelings about work, school, relationships, day-to-day activities and one's experience of emotional well being.
