14 Part I common pathogenesis, and why such a potential shared pathogenesis leads to varying clinical expressions. We will explore this connection between the two constructs, which are both conceptually and structurally distinct, in a narrative review focused on AN and Non-Suicidal Self-Injurious Behavior (NSSI). Furthermore, we will propose several hypothetical models to delineate the relationship between AN and NSSI, integrating both psychopathology and neurobiology. Our aim will be to better understand and characterize their relationship, thereby laying the groundwork for future research. This will be covered in Chapter 8 of the thesis. Part VI – General discussion Part VI will provide an overall summary and discussion of the findings presented in this thesis, in the line of related work by others and by us. We will elaborate on neurobiological, psychological, philosophical, ethical and sociological aspects of DBS in AN. Finally, we will share our thoughts on future research.
