They can work. The work they perform will have to do with the severity of their disease. Muscle and bone deterioration may prevent them from doing jobs with heavy lifting.

Yes they can if they haven’t become so skinny that their organs don’t shut down. I’d keep the activity level low so they don’t burn more calories. I was anorexic they shouldn’t be doing any type of physical activity. A very sedentary job or a donut shop or food chain where they may pick and gain some weight.

Can work without any problem, obviously depending on the clinical picture, if it is at risk of life it is recommendable not to do so, but it is not good for q to be insulated from the day to day activities since this disease is associated with depression q what have you tend to isolate and is not recommended. The percentage of the people who work and q are suffering from this pathology is quite couple q and many tend to withdraw and other with the sole idea of always being in motion and of escape from the mealtime they would rather be working.
