ABSTRACT

La anorexia nervosa, la bulimia nervosa y los trastornos inespecíficos del comportamiento alimentario son alteraciones conductuales relacionadas al acto de comer y a la imagen corporal; han sido considerados como entidades estrechamente ligadas a la idolatría por la delgadez, aunque la historia revela que han existido desde tiempos remotos. Los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria han sido descritos desde diferentes perspectivas y, recientemente, se les ha comenzado a abordar con un enfoque científico. Su naturaleza y origen son complejos, con interacción de factores biológicos, psicológicos y sociales. Según la clasificación propuesta por la Asociación Psiquiátrica Americana en su Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico de los Trastornos Mentales (DSM-IV-TR), los trastornos de la conducta alimentaria se dividen en específicos e inespecíficos. Los primeros comprenden a la anorexia y a la bulimia. En la presente revisión se inicia con una breve introducción y se abordan algunos aspectos psiquiátricos en torno al concepto, la epidemiología, la etiopatogenia, el diagnóstico diferencial, la evolución y generalidades del tratamiento de estos trastornos.

ABSTRACT

A Interconsulta Psiquiátrica (IP) trata-se do estudo da relação entre a psiquiatria e todas as outras áreas dos conhecimentos do processo saúde-doença, visando, sob uma perspectiva biopsicossocial, atender sua demanda clínica (prestação da assistência ao paciente) e institucional (relacionada aos serviços). É descrito o caso de uma paciente que apresentou rara manifestação fisiopatológica da Síndrome de Behçet e que evoluiu com transtorno psiquiátrico após a instituição de terapêutica com corticoesteróides. Apesar da remissão dos sintomas mentais e comportamentais com tratamento psicofarmacológico de curta duração, a evolução do quadro demandou a reintrodução de corticoterapia, com recrudescência de quadro psiquiátrico e necessidade de instituição de tratamento de manutenção para seu manejo. Além de ilustrativo, no sentido de discutir uma rara condição clínica, o caso descrito exemplifica os benefícios da atuação conjunta e planejada entre psiquiatras e outros profissionais na assistência integral ao paciente.
