This presentation provides an evidence‑based overview of treatment approaches for anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). These eating disorders are complex, multifactorial illnesses requiring coordinated medical, nutritional, and psychotherapeutic care, with weight restoration and meal normalization playing central roles in recovery. The presenter will underscore the importance of early intervention, careful medical monitoring, disposition, and the incorporation of psychotherapy and nutrition. The limited role of pharmacologic treatments will also be discussed.
Objectives:
- Determine the most appropriate treatment setting for patients diagnosed with an eating disorder
- Describe the core treatment principles for anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa
- Review the evidence supporting the use of psychotropic medications in the treatment of eating disorders
Registration deadline is April 27 at noon.
