Physical: Significant weight loss, fatigue, dizziness, amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), brittle nails, hair loss, and lanugo (fine hair growth on the body). Emotional: Preoccupation with food, dieting, and body image, anxiety, depression, and irritability. Behavioral: Eating very small quantities of food, avoiding meals, excessive exercise, and using laxatives or diuretics.
