How To Cure Anorexia

July 24th, 2009

Some Facts About Anorexia and how best to treat it start with being able to diagnose an individual with the disorder.  Sometimes it can be difficult to diagnose because people can have an eating disorder for years before they are discovered.  Once they have been diagnosed they need to be assessed.  Their assessment will include medical history, current weight, body mass index and whether or not other issues like depression, anxiety or substance abuse exist.  Treatment usually works best with a team of professionals including a dietitian, mental health specialist and a medical doctor.  Depending on the severity of the disorder it will be decided whether outpatient or residential care is the best course of action.
