Since it first appeared in the legal sphere in 1992, the condition of AnorexiaNervosa (AN) has faced considerable nosological turbulence, provingtroublesome for medical practitioners and judicial figures alike. This hasbeen somewhat compounded by the 'conflict of governance' between theMental Capacity Act (MCA) and Mental Health Act (MHA), which bothpertain to interrelated clinical populations. AN treatment can be sanctionedunder both pieces of legislation notwithstanding their competing aims ofempowerment on one side, and compelled care on the other. Resultantly,it is apparent that the law can make an anorexic eat, but whether or not itshould and how this is authorized will be the focus of this research.The recent discovery of AN's genetic underpinnings will provide a basisfrom which to suggest that MCA application is most suitable in the contextof AN, with aberrations in the brain circuitry of anorexics rooting thecondition in the sphere of biology. It is therefore arguable that the lawshould reflect this to provide greater consistency and Parity of Esteem.Additionally, the utility of upstream intervention at the level of mediaregulation will be investigated, in light of the detrimental effects of the'Empire of Images'. Disrupting this media hegemony will therefore limit thesociocultural facets of the condition and may prevent downstreaminstances of AN. Resultantly, through a multifaceted approach to legislativeintervention it is hoped that this will more aptly account for the multifariousreality of AN and benefit all who suffer from it.

自从1992年神经性厌食症（AN）首次出现在法律的领域以来，它的病情一直面临着相当大的疾病分类学动荡，给医疗从业者和司法人员带来了麻烦。这在某种程度上由于《精神能力法》（MCA）和《精神卫生法》（MHA）之间的“治理冲突”而变得更加复杂，这两个法案都涉及到相互关联的临床人群。根据这两项立法，尽管它们的竞争目标是一方赋予权力，另一方强制护理，但治疗可以受到制裁。因此，很明显，法律可以使一个病人吃，但是否应该和如何授权将是本研究的重点。最近发现的AN的遗传基础将提供一个基础，从它建议MCA的应用是最适合的上下文AN，与畸变的大脑回路的神经营养不良植根于生物学领域的条件。因此，法律应该反映这一点，以提供更大的一致性和平等的尊重。此外，上游干预的效用在媒体监管的水平将进行调查，在“图像帝国”的有害影响。因此，破坏这种媒体霸权将限制这种情况的社会文化方面，并可能防止AN的恶化。因此，通过多方面的立法干预，希望这将更恰当地解释AN的多样性现实，并使所有遭受AN的人受益。
