The symptoms described in the question are characteristic of anorexia nervosa, which involves intense fear of gaining weight, disturbed body image, refusal to maintain normal weight, and dangerous measures to lose weight. Amenorrhea (absence of menstrual periods) and osteoporosis (loss of bone density) can be consequences of anorexia nervosa, but they are not defining features of the disorder. Bulimia nervosa involves binge eating and purging behaviors, which are different from the restrictive eating behaviors seen in anorexia nervosa.
