    Eating disorders are becoming more common in nonwestern societies and some of these presentations are atypical variants such as atypical anorexia nervosa. ere is very little data on how to treat these patients. is case study reports the treatment of a young adult female in Sri Lanka who presented with atypical anorexia nervosa and moderate depressive disorder. She was successfully treated with nine sessions of enhanced cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT-E). According to our knowledge this is the Šrst case report that describes the management of a patient with atypical anorexia nervosa using psychological therapy speciŠcally adapted to nonwestern context.
