Isn't this where they think they are fat, no matter how skinny they get?

Not this time
She doesn't care about stuff like that and I couldn't help her much and I have been feeling rather helpless these days

Hopefully, she gets better soon, and her family doctor can help her find a reason for her lack of appetite. I feel talking to her more, and learning more about why she is eating may help you find a way to convince her to eat more regularly.

I'm with froggyboy on this. There could be a medical reason for your friends' lack of eating.
I also think anemia is just as much a mental condition as it is an eating disorder. People with it think they are fat and will not eat to make themselves skinny, regardless of how skinny they are.

It's not like she isn't eating anything.
It's just that she doesn't take junk food at all and whatever she takes is not enough.

So she's under-eating. That can still be unhealthy.
Has she explained why?

Maybe her Anemia is causing her to have problems eating junk food, and solid food. Liquid based food like soup and apple juice maybe easier for her to drink/eat.

I have been trying that to be honest.
I really want her to get better and she is someone very close to me. Thank you for the suggestion froggyboy

Her hemoglobin percentage is 5.
So I am pretty sure she got anemia and probably she just doesn't want to eat much which lead to anemia
