The most common eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder.
Various types of individual and group therapy help people overcome their eating disorders. Psychotherapy helps people deal with trauma and other underlying issues that contribute to their obsessive behaviors about food. The most common type of psychotherapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
CBT focuses on helping people change negative patterns in their thoughts and behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of CBT that specifically focuses on developing behavioral skills.Â
Even in the earliest stages of an eating disorder, people sometimes experience medical complications. Depending on the situation, outpatient medical care for an eating disorder can include monitoring vitals, organ function, and minor symptoms. This provides patients and families with information about physical progress during their outpatient treatment program.
Learning about proper nutrition is typically a part of all eating disorder treatment plans. Nutritionists help patients create a healthy eating plan as soon as they begin treatment. Specialized nutrition counseling helps those with eating disorders break away from obsessive patterns that harm their bodies.
