Anorexia nervosa may be a life threatenings psychiatric conditions and this syndrome result from major disturbances of body image and an almost in curable fear of gaining weight. It is a disorder recognized in the nineteeth century by Gull W(1968) and Laseque EC(1873) which manifested predominantly by weight loss, amenorrhea, and eating disoders occurring almost in adolescent and young women of higher socioeconomic status. It has been attributed to a psychiatric disturbance, and endocrine-metabolic disorder or a combination of the two conditions.
