Among all the treatments, Pennington Biomedical
Research Center suggests that home-based therapy is evidence-based treatment
that best suits for teenagers with anorexia
(Pennington Biomedical Research Center, 2023).Treatment
for eating disorders focuses on healing both the body and the mind. It often
begins by reaching out for help, which can be a huge step, but it's an
important one. A team of professionals usually works together to support
recovery this may include a doctor, a therapist, and a dietitian. Therapy,
especially Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), helps individuals understand
and change negative thoughts and behaviors around food and body image. A
dietitian helps create a healthy eating plan and rebuild a positive
relationship with food, while medical checkups ensure the body is recovering
safely. In some cases, medication may be used to help manage anxiety or
depression that often come along with eating disorders. Recovery is a
process, and ongoing support whether from professionals, family, or support
groups plays a big role in staying strong along the way. The most important
thing to remember is that recovery is possible, and no one has to go through
it alone.
Moreover, dietitian support and nutritional education could also be
effective while treating eating disorder. Family based therapy where
individual with eating disorder habits is altered with the help of family
eating patterns and motivation has also proven significant to overcome the
disorder, (Haley Russell, 2023).
