Abstract
Anorexia nervosa usually develops during adolescence when considerable structural and functional brain changes are taking place. Suicidal intentions could occur at this period and the number of teenage suicides spikes. Te research among adults has registered the defcit of executive functions both in different mental disorders and in suicidal behavior. However, there is no clarity about what is the role of executive functions in dynamic of AN among female teenagers. Te question is: do they have an effect on level of suicidal ideation? We have researched executive functions in adolescent girls with AN and suicidal ideas. We identifed that the disfunction in specifc cognitive domains (executive and psychomotor functions) and the global neuropsychological insufciency (composite score BACS) could stimulate an appearance of suicidal ideas in AN.
