Abstract
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is often associated with comorbid depression or anxiety, but rarely with mental retardation or psychosis. The present report describes the case of a 22 year-old woman who met diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa, borderline mental retardation, and schizoaffective disorder. The case highlights the difficulties in differential diagnosis with these seemingly incompatible disorders. It also provides some insights into the unclear relationship between anorexia nervosa and these comorbid conditions.
