ICD-10 AN summary

A
  • deliberate weight loss, induced and sustained by the patient.
  • The disorder is associated with a specific psychopathology whereby a dread of fatness and flabbiness of body contour persists as an intrusive overvalued idea, and the patients impose a low weight threshold on themselves.

There is usually undernutrition of varying severity with secondary endocrine and metabolic changes and disturbances of bodily function.

Symptoms include
- restricted dietary choice
- excessive exercise
- induced vomiting and purgation
- use of appetite suppressants and diuretics.
