Don't shortchange a long illness: A commentary on Severe and Enduring Anorexia Nervosa.

Author
Abstract
:

Wonderlich et al.'s manuscript "Severe and Enduring Anorexia Nervosa: Update and Observations about the Current Clinical Reality" reviews Severe and Enduring Anorexia Nervosa (SE-AN) from several perspectives, hoping to stimulate discussion among clinicians, researchers, and other stakeholders about needed next steps for furthering the science relevant to the severe and enduring form of illness that affects a subgroup of individuals with AN. Among the important reasons for a new discussion of SE-AN is that health care has evolved in ways that have reduced comprehensive services for those who are more seriously affected. It is critical that adults with SE-AN be examined empirically to help identify effective strategies for clinical management and that health care policies assure parity for this seriously affected group.
