Anorexia nervosa with comorbid psychosis and borderline mental retardation: a case report.
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is often associated with comorbid depression or anxiety, but rarely with mental retardation or psychosis.


METHODS
The present report describes the case of a 22 year-old woman who met diagnostic criteria for anorexia nervosa, borderline mental retardation, and schizoaffective disorder.


CONCLUSIONS
The case highlights the difficulties in differential diagnosis with these seemingly incompatible disorders. It also provides some insights into the unclear relationship between anorexia nervosa and these comorbid conditions.
