From "hysterical anorexia" to anorexia nervosa .

Author
Abstract
:

Anorexia nervosa and hysteria are two entities whose concepts have evolved through the ages, from "hysterical anorexia" to become distinct both in their presentations and in the representations within the community. Today, the psychiatric approach has been enriched by the contribution of neuroscience. Hospital treatment of anorexia nervosa allows intervention on the symptoms of the disease, but also takes into account the associated needs and disorders.
