A clinical reference by Christopher Schneider on how anorexia nervosa is identified and treated. It covers emotional, physical and behavioral symptoms, then walks through the diagnostic workup: physical exam, blood and urine tests, electrocardiogram, thyroid function tests, CT imaging and bone density scans. The treatment chapters address medications, counseling and therapy aimed at both psychological and physical symptoms. It is written for graduate and postgraduate students rather than for patients or families, and it is narrower than general eating-disorder textbooks that also cover bulimia, binge eating and body image.

This book covers the diagnosis and treatment of anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder characterized by extreme food restriction and an intense fear of gaining weight. It outlines both topics in detail.
It describes the signs and symptoms of the condition in three groups: emotional, physical and behavioral. Emotional and behavioral symptoms include social withdrawal, insomnia, irritability and frequent mirror checks for perceived flaws. Common physical symptoms include a thin appearance, abnormal blood counts, fatigue, dehydration and swelling in the body.
Diagnosis begins with a physical examination by a doctor, followed by tests. These commonly include blood tests, urine tests, an electrocardiogram, thyroid function tests, imaging such as CT scans, and bone density scans. Treatment addresses both psychological and physical symptoms through medications, counseling and therapies. The book is intended as a reference for graduate and postgraduate students.
