              The current case presentation examines the treatment and recovery of a 5-year-old girl diagnosed with comorbid anorexia nervosa and major depressive disorder. Researchers have shown that children as young as 3-years-old may be dissatisfied with their bodies and have concerns about their weight. This case presentation of a 5-year-old child demonstrates that the age range defining early onset of eating disorders can span into early childhood, which requires treatment tailored to the developmental level of these young children.  |
