Although anorexia nervosa (AN) is considered quite rare among the general population, with about 9 per 1000 females affected over their lifetime, it is quite common among adolescent girls, and increasingly among boys too. In fact, it is quoted to be the third commonest “chronic" or ongoing health condition affecting teenage girls, after asthma and obesity. It is also potentially extremely serious, with the highest mortality rate of all psychiatric conditions.
