en-wikipedia-org-8875		Anorexia (symptom) - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	1997	334	52	While the term in non-scientific publications is often used interchangeably with anorexia nervosa, many possible causes exist for a decreased appetite, some of which may be harmless, while others indicate a serious clinical condition or pose a significant risk. When a healthcare provider states that a patient has anorexia, they are simply referring to a decreased appetite. The symptom also occurs in other animals, such as cats,[1][2] dogs,[3][4] cattle, goats, and sheep.[5] In these species, anorexia may be referred to as inappetence. Anything that causes an imbalance of these signals or hormones can lead to the symptom of anorexia. Poor food intake can lead to dehydration, severe weight loss, electrolyte imbalances, anemia and nutritional deficiencies. It is considered a mental health diagnosis where people see themselves as overweight regardless of their weight or appearance.[15] The person does not necessarily exhibit anorexia as a symptom in their quest to restrict food intake.[15]	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-8875.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-8875.txt
