Abstract:
Anorexia nervosa affects people of all ages, and has the highest mortality rate of all psychiatric disorders, following medical complications inherent in the disease or suicide. Early and appropriate treatment is crucial to prevent the risk of chronic disease, which may affect one in two anorexics. Severe undernutrition linked to a complex psychopathology calls for the necessary theoretical and clinical knowledge on the part of the caregiver, applied to the dynamics of care, ideally conceived in a transdisciplinary way and involving nursing teams.
