ABSTRACT
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a serious eating disorder, often with psychiatric comorbidities. AN occurs in 1 percent of girls in the risk ages 13-18 years and in about 0.1 percent of boys in the same age group. It has a standardized mortality ratio of 5.86 (Arcelus, Mitchell, & Wales, 2014). In 10-20 percent of those affected, AN is refractory to treatment, thus leading to chronic suffering and psycho-social disturbances (Berkman, Lohr, & Bulik, 2007).
