Becomes withdrawn and uncommunicative
When the desire to lose weight turns into an obsession, the circle of interests narrows [7]. A patient with anorexia becomes withdrawn and uncommunicative, gradually loses contact with family and friends. Since at this moment a person is left alone with his/her problem, they begin to look for support in the circle of the same like-minded people who are losing weight. As a rule, people with anorexia find each other in special communities that promote the disease. There they share daily reports and “life hacks” that help them on their way to the “perfect body”. According to Canadian researchers [8], social media is one of the main catalysts for the development of eating disorders.
