Abstract
:

The use of valproate in the treatment of Anorexia Nervosa (AN) in children and adolescents is currently not recommended by clinical guidelines, due to lack of evidence. Nonetheless, valproate is used to treat a series of psychiatric and neurologic conditions. To date, only six cases of patients with Feeding and Eating Disorders (three with AN) have been described.
