Abstract

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that primarily affects young women and has a high morbidity and mortality rate. Hospitalization effectively overcomes the acute phase, prevents progression to chronicity and promotes lasting changes.

Because of the multiple determination of anorexia nervosa and the risk involved, treatment must be carried out by a multidisciplinary team.
