What Is The Best Treatment For An Eating Disorder?

In this video I am going to talk about the best treatments for an Eating Disorder. At the end of the video I will make some recommendations to help you to decide the best way forward. The biological cause of an Eating Disorder has yet to be identified by researchers which makes developing an effective medication almost impossible. Some antidepressants have been found to reduce the frequency of bingeing in some people. They have also been shown to help with the Depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) symptoms that are common amongst people with Eating Disorders but on the whole results are limited and symptoms tend to return when the medication is stopped. Really the main option for the treatment of an Eating Disorder is a talking therapy and currently the most effective talking therapy is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for an Eating Disorder involves 2 parts: 1. To help the sufferer develop a balanced and healthy pattern of eating 2. To address the underlying cause of the Eating Disorder and build their self esteem and ability to cope with uncomfortable emotions and difficult life events.
