Concurrence of Turner's syndrome, anorexia nervosa, and mood disorders: case report

Although this patient's eating habits normalized with treatment, the depressive symptoms persisted at 1-year follow-up. The possibility that anorexia nervosa may be secondary to a mood disorder in patients with Turner's syndrome is discussed.
