Neurobiology of anorexia nervosa: Clinical implications of alterations of the function of serotonin and other neuronal systems

Article Abstract:

Genetic and neurobiologically mediated mechanisms contribute to the etiology of anorexia nervosa. Serotonin neuronal systems, in particular, may create vulnerabilities related to pathological feeding, anxiety and obsessions, and extremes of impulse control, that make individuals susceptible to developing an eating disorder, perhaps in combination with environmental stressors.

Perfectionism in anorexia nervosa

Article Abstract:

A study of 19 female anorexics using two multidimensional instruments for assessing various aspects of perfectionism revealed underweight, malnourished sufferers of anorexia nervosa to be perfectionistic. The self-imposed trait of perfectionism in anorexics hinders efficient treatment due to their stubborn, obsessive attitudes.
