Abstract

The aim of this review is to find out the relationship between compulsivity and Anorexia Nervosa (AN) and the relevant interventions to date. AN is a type of eating disorders that includes two subtypes: restricting and purging subtypes. Females between 13 and 20 years old are more likely to suffer from AN and the death rate is extremely high. The restricting subtype of AN patients are obsessed with weight loss by doing excessive exercises. This review paper discussed the trait of compulsivity and the effect of anxiety in AN. This review also discussed the unconscious compulsivity in AN that makes AN even more difficult to be treated. Most of the AN patients have compulsive exercises in their daily lives. All the studies that were discussed in this paper used varies methods and established that there is a positive correlation between compulsivity and AN. By knowing it, relevant interventions can be designed to target this aspect. Healthy routines and healthy beliefs can replace the unhealthy compulsive exercise in AN. One limitation of previous studies is that they mainly focused on the compulsive trait and relevant interventions after the AN diagnosis. Future study should investigate more regarding the premorbid and prodromal phases of AN, to understand its dynamic development over time. This paper can guide the design of intervention and prevention programs for AN.
