Answer
Mercy probably suffers from **anorexia nervosa**.Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image, leading to self-imposed starvation and excessive exercise. Despite being underweight, individuals with anorexia nervosa often perceive themselves as overweight and may refer to themselves as "fat."
