Large Study: While anorexia nervosa remains the most lethal condition in psychiatry, the development of specialized treatment centers and enhanced awareness to patients and clinicians, the death rates have fallen. A meta-study of 36 other research studies has shown that the crude mortality rate for anorexia nervosa is 5.1, which means that for every 1000 people with anorexia nervosa, 5 will die each year.
