[Treatment of anorexia nervosa].
Anorexia nervosa is a common disorder, that is becoming an increasing burden on health care institutions. It has complicated biological and psychological symptoms that reinforce each another. The treatment is of long duration and is often difficult. Patients are ambivalent about treatment and the treating doctor must actively motivate them to continue treatment. An important part of the treatment is the re-establishment of normal body weight. Uncomplicated cases should be treated by the general practitioner.
