    Journal: J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry; 1989 May; 28(3):380-4. PubMed ID: 2738004.
    Abstract:
    A case of a 9-year-old girl with anorexia nervosa and a major depressive disorder is reported. The age of onset brings into focus the relationship between depressive disorders, weight loss, and anorexia nervosa in children. The increasing incidence of childhood dieting and the implications of the prepubertal onset for hypotheses of the etiology of anorexia nervosa are discussed.
