Julia according to the case discussion is said to deny herself food and does not see any issues with her body weight (Lock, & Le Grange, 2015) . Sometimes she became irritated when other individuals try to ask her about her weight loss.

The reported symptom fit perfectly into my field because I have basic knowledge of clinical psychology which focuses more on evaluating client history through an interview and also assessing medical report.
