Question : Is there a name for a person whose outward appearance is sickly, but they think they are sexy or hot looking?
A friend of mine is suffering from Bulimia and Anorexia and has ravaged their body to the point that it is painfully obvious that they need serious medical help, yet this person dresses and acts as if they have the body and looks of a super model. I want to have an intervention, but I want to be educated before attempting this.

in this case anorexic and bulimic would be the names. there are tons of information on the web about this.
my best advice is to get in touch with a professional. they can help you stage the intervention and it gives your friend a place to go. rather then saying ‘you need help’ you’ll be saying ‘i care about you and i have a plan for what you can do’.
