This study highlights the significance of recognising amenorrhoea in restrictive disorders, even when individuals maintain a normal weight. The faster return of menstrual cycles and shorter duration of amenorrhoea observed in adolescents with AAN emphasise the significance of early diagnosis and prompt initiation of treatment. Regardless of the patient's presenting complaint and weight status, obtaining a comprehensive ED history is essential when addressing concerns regarding amenorrhoea or menstrual irregularities.
