Abstract:
A case of difficulties in diagnosis of anorexia nervosa in a 15-year-old girl is reported. Before 1960, anorexia nervosa was rarely recognized, and bulimia was not known, as a nosological entity. Over the last two decades the occurrence of anorexia nervosa and bulimia has been on the rise. The disorders of ingestion usually begin as merely dietetic habits. However, they may, lead to heavy losing of weight accompanied by emaciation. Successful treatment depends on appropriate therapy managed by a psychologist, psychiatrist and endocrinologist.
