Pediatric anorexia nervosa

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that is caused and / or sustained by a patient and is characterized by intentional weight loss. As early as 1694, Richard Morion described two typical cases and distinguished them from tuberculosis. In 1874, William Gull proposed the name anorexia nervosa. In 1950, Hilde Bruch analyzed the psychological characteristics of patients with this disorder. At present, this disorder has become an independent disease unit, and people have a certain understanding and understanding of its etiology, clinical manifestations, treatment and prognosis.
