Anorexia nervosa: case study 1
The case:
Jack is a 20-year-old semi-professional basketball player and medical student. Jack was referred to Shane by his GP with a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa. Shane explains Jack is medically compromised due to his low neutrophil count. He describes the evidence informed framework which guides exercise recommendations during treatment for an eating disorder. Jack’s sport and potential hospital admission are used for leverage to encourage regular and adequate nutrition. Shane briefs us through Jacks’ 18 months of treatment; the support Jack has from his parents, gradual introduction of sport and his eventual ability to manage his own food and activity.
