About: Differential diagnoses of anorexia nervosa

An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

The differential diagnoses of anorexia nervosa (AN) includes various types of medical and psychological conditions, which may be misdiagnosed as AN. In some cases, these conditions may be comorbid with AN because the misdiagnosis of AN is not uncommon. For example, a case of achalasia was misdiagnosed as AN and the patient spent two months confined to a psychiatric hospital. A reason for the differential diagnoses that surround AN arise mainly because, like other disorders, it is primarily, albeit defensively and adaptive for, the individual concerned. Anorexia Nervosa is a psychological disorder characterized by extremely reduced intake of food. People with aneroxia nervosa have a low self-image and consider themselves overweight.

  • The differential diagnoses of anorexia nervosa (AN) includes various types of medical and psychological conditions, which may be misdiagnosed as AN. In some cases, these conditions may be comorbid with AN because the misdiagnosis of AN is not uncommon. For example, a case of achalasia was misdiagnosed as AN and the patient spent two months confined to a psychiatric hospital. A reason for the differential diagnoses that surround AN arise mainly because, like other disorders, it is primarily, albeit defensively and adaptive for, the individual concerned. Anorexia Nervosa is a psychological disorder characterized by extremely reduced intake of food. People with aneroxia nervosa have a low self-image and consider themselves overweight. Common behaviors and signs of someone with AN: * Forcing oneself to vigorously exercise even in adverse conditions or when their health does not permit it. * Forcing own self to urinate and excrete waste product from the body. * Using substituted amphetamines (stimulants that can reduce appetite) to reduce appetite. * Skin turning yellow (en)
