What is Anorexia?

Anorexia, or anorexia nervosa, is a serious eating disorder characterized by an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted body image, leading individuals to restrict their food intake significantly, often resulting in severe weight loss and malnutrition. It is often accompanied by other psychological issues such as anxiety and depression, and can have serious physical health consequences, including heart problems, bone density loss, and, in extreme cases, death.

How do we treat Anorexia?

Treating anorexia via telehealth involves utilizing video appointments to provide therapy and support, focusing on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), nutritional counseling, and regular check-ins. Patients can engage in individual therapy sessions, enabling them to address underlying psychological issues while maintaining comfort. The use of medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be beneficial to address anxiety and depression.

How do we treat Anorexia?

The effectiveness of anorexia treatment varies depending on factors such as the individual’s age, duration of illness, and severity of symptoms. Early intervention typically yields better outcomes.
