    Background:

    • Anorexia nervosa is a severe eating disorder characterized by self-starvation and distorted body image.
    • Hoarding disorder involves persistent difficulty discarding possessions, leading to accumulation.
    • Comorbidities between eating disorders and personality disorders are frequently observed.

    Observation:

    • This report details a case study of a woman diagnosed with anorexia nervosa who also exhibited hoarding behaviors.
    • The patient presented with significant obsessional and borderline personality traits.
    • Symptoms of hoarding appeared to intensify during periods of severe starvation.

    Findings:

    • Obsessional personality traits, when exacerbated by starvation, may contribute to the development of hoarding in anorexia nervosa.

  • Borderline personality characteristics, similarly intensified by starvation, could also be a determinant factor.
  • The interplay between starvation, personality traits, and hoarding requires further investigation in anorexia nervosa.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding the determinants of hoarding in anorexia nervosa is crucial for developing targeted therapeutic interventions.
    • Clinicians should consider assessing for hoarding behaviors in patients with anorexia nervosa, particularly those with comorbid personality traits.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the complex relationship between starvation, personality disorders, and hoarding in the context of anorexia nervosa.
