Anorexia nervosa (AN) is an eating disorder characterized by severe weight loss due to a fear of gaining weight and obsessions relating to body shape. AN is a psychiatric illness, and although psychiatric co-morbidity in AN has already been extensively studied, the extent to which it can affect mortality is unclear. In this work, a quantitative and volumetric study to monitor the disease-related integrity of the brain tissue in a cohort of AN patients and healthy controls was performed. The preliminary results suggest that psychological treatment may be useful in terms of brain tissue integrity, even after only three months.
