Abstract
Anorexia nervosa is considered a typical middle and upper social class pathology and is characterized by excessive fear of gaining weight and/or an alteration in body image, wich motivates the person to implement severe dietary restriction or other behaviors of weight loss as excessive physical activity. This pathology is classified in two types: restrictive and compulsive-purgative.
The treatment of this disease always requires management by a multidisciplinary team consisting mainly of doctors, nutritionists and psychologists trained in the management of eating disorders.
