Anorexia quiz: do I have anorexia?

It can be difficult to recognize when food restriction, fear of weight gain, or body image concerns start to take over daily life. This brief, confidential anorexia quiz is designed to help you reflect on patterns like restrictive eating, intense focus on weight, or feeling anxious around food. It’s not a diagnosis, but a helpful first step toward understanding what you may be experiencing.

If these questions resonate, you can learn more about anorexia nervosa, its symptoms, and treatment options. Support is available; you don’t have to figure this out alone.

Do you significantly restrict the amount of food you eat, even when you feel hungry?

Are you afraid of gaining weight, or are you preoccupied with the size of your body?

Do you feel a strong need to control calories, portions, or food types?

Do you avoid eating in front of others?

Have others expressed concern about your weight or eating habits?

Do you feel guilty or anxious after eating?

Has your eating affected your energy, mood, or menstrual cycle (if applicable)?
