I may be wrong, but I think in a case like that, even if the girl is over 18, the parents can have her proved mentally unfit and make such choices for her.
Why? Because it is really a mental disorder. A person with anorexia is honestly killing themselves and can't even see it.
Under 18, said girl is still a minor child, so the parents make those decisions.

i think that the parents are the ones responsible because of the age...

I think when it comes to that, the girls parents would choose bc the doctors will find the girl unstable to choose for her own. I hope I helped=D
