yes you can be anerexic but still close to normal body weight.   yes your psychiatrist can diagnosis you as having anerexia   depending on what you say during yoiur sessions     depending on how long you think youve been experiencing anerexia symptoms you can do out patient therapy or in patient treatment  .
