Sree Nanda, a native of Meruvambai, had reportedly avoided proper food for nearly six months, surviving only on hot water. She had been following extreme weight-loss diets from online portals, which severely impacted her health. She was brought to the hospital 12 days ago in critical condition and was immediately admitted to the ICU. Her sugar levels, sodium, and blood pressure were critically low, and she was placed on ventilator support, but her condition did not improve. Despite efforts to stabilise her, she later died. Anorexia nervosa is a life-threatening disorder, accounting for one of the highest mortality rates among mental illnesses. Severe starvation can lead to fatal medical complications, while psychological distress makes suicide a leading cause of death among those affected.
