Objective: For the management of patients with severe eating disorders, coordinated collaboration between a multidisciplinary team is imperative. Ideally, these cases should be treated in a specialized eating disorder unit (SEDU). Method: This case report highlights the use of an integrated approach based on "Management of Really Sick Patients with Anorexia Nervosa" report in managing a case of extreme anorexia nervosa where a SEDU is unavailable. Result: In this case, early psychiatric team support is key in the patient's path to recovery. Practice Implication: This highlights the importance of having a SEDU and staff trained in eating disorder.
