Anorexic is the noun used to describe someone with anorexia nervosa. And anyone can have it. Anyone suffering from anxiety, delusions, abuse, or trauma is subject to this nasty mind disease.
Anorexia is simply the medical term for loss of appetite, and isn't a disease but a symptom to be taken into account where other health issues are concerned.
Anorexia doesn't mean aversion to food or refusal to eat, or any of the other symptoms we associate with the serious disease, Anorexia Nervosa.
So if your doctor writes a note to another doctor saying you're suffering from anorexia, it simply means you've lost your appetite and not that you've Anorexia Nervosa or its associated conditions, which sometimes have no apparent - or traceable - trigger at all.
A person suffering from Anorexia Nervosa needs prompt and specific support and treatment by professionals, as do sufferers of any nervous disease.
