In order to deal properly with anorexia we need to understand and — if possible — remove the underlying causes and risk factors. We need to ask: "What else is going on inside the body that might allow anorexia to develop?"
Accurate diagnosis of the factors behind anorexia consists of three steps:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Brain Tumor | 96% | Confirm |
Need For Dietary Improvement | 29% | Unlikely |
Magnesium Need | 3% | Ruled out |
Anorexia. Have you ever had this eating disorder?
Possible responses:
→ Don't know→ No → In the past only, not a current problem → Current moderate problem → Current major problem |
Early symptoms of magnesium deficiency can include fatigue, anorexia, irritability, insomnia, and muscle tremors or twitching.
Having had an eating disorder as a child increases the risk of a brain tumor later in life.
