    Classification: The Transdiagnostic Perspective

    Introduction

    To say, as adult physicians do, that lifetime mortality from anorexia nervosa is somewhere around 10% of patients, while important and true, understates the real cost of this illness, particularly in childhood. Children, more resilient than adults, with less time to have developed co-occurring, complicating conditions (e.g., alcohol abuse) are not as likely to die outright, although they can. Rather, the major, calamitous effects of the semistarvation seen in anorexia nervosa in the young child are the effects that it has on the growing brain.

    Most of the brain's cells are formed before birth, but many of the critical connections between the cells are made during infancy and early childhood. Anything that adversely affects learning, such as poor concentration (routinely seen with fasting and under eating), impoverishes and trims these connections, which are essential to normal brain functioning. The "inability to focus and concentrate" almost universally reported by our young patients and their observant parents is a direct result of their eating disorder, and rarely a separate condition, such as attention deficit disorder. Mistaking the poor concentration of semistarvation for ADD or ADHD frequently
