Employing Markov chains provided a quantitative and insightful approach for examining affect dynamics in a patient with AN. This methodology accurately measures emotional transitions and provides a clear and interpretable framework for clinicians and patients. By leveraging Markovian indexes, mental health professionals may gain a comprehensive understanding of emotional fluctuations' patterns. Moreover, graphical representations of emotional transitions may enhance the clinician-patient dialogue, facilitating a clearer emotional and physiological profile for the implementation of personalized treatment procedures
