Treating Eating Disorders (APA, 2006)
• Treatment is considered multimodal and multidimensional – Individual, group, and/or family counseling – Possible in-patient hospitalization – Behavioral and/or cognitive therapy
• Medications e.g. anti-depressants or appetite stimulators have NOT been shown to be successful in initial treatment
Recovery from AN (APA, 2006) • Goal of recovery: to restore patient to normal
weight: BMI >17.5 kg/m2 – Immediate weight gain either through outpatient care or
hospitalization • Restore Normal menstruation • Treat physical complications.
– Medications, calcium and vitamin D effectively reverse the degree of osteoporosis in patients with anorexia nervosa
• Prevent relapse. • After patients have gained weight and when the psychological effects
of malnutrition are resolving, preliminary evidence suggests that antidepressants may be helpful with weight maintenance.
• Minimize food restrictions. • Encourage healthy but not excessive exercise.
Recovery from AN (APA, 2006) • Method of recovery
– Enhance the patient’s motivation to cooperate and participate in treatment. – Provide education about healthy nutrition and eating patterns. – Psychotherapy for underlying psychosocial factors

• Correct core maladaptive thoughts and attitudes. • Enlist family support and provide family counseling and therapy where appropriate.
