Developments in ANOREXIA NERVOSA
Abstract
The earliest clear account of the illness was given by William Gull, an English physician, in 1874. He originally termed the disorder ‘apepsia hysterica’ but later changed this to ‘anorexia nervosa’. The patient is usually a post‐pubertal girl aged 16–18 years.
