Eating Disorder Treatment

  • For anorexia, treatment typically involves counseling and medication. .http://mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/publications/allpubs/ken98-0047/default.asp#6 Therapy can be done in an in-patient setting or out-patient setting, depending on the severity of the case. This portion of the treatment is dedicated to working out the issues that created the eating disorder. Medications such as antidepressants or other mood stabilizers can also be a helpful form of treatment, and may accompany psychotherapy or in-patient treatment. Some anorexia patients must be hospitalized if their weight loss has been severe, or their mental state has been compromised.http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/eating-disorders/complete-index.shtml
  • Bulimic patients undergo some of the same therapeutic treatment as anorexics, and may also meet with a diet or nutrition counselor.http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/eating-disorders/complete-index.shtmlProzac is sometimes successful in treating bulimia, as well as group therapy.http://mentalhealth.samhsa.gov/publications/allpubs/ken98-0047/default.asp#6
  • Overeating, or binge eating, can be treated in a similar manner to bulimia. Antidepressants are normally utilized, and will treat the depression that may accompany this disorder.http://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/eating-disorders/complete-index.shtml

How to Improve Your Mood

Persistence is said to be the key to happiness. Research done at Stanford University has proven that persistent people achieve more. During a large study by the university they found that children who are persistent tended to stand out more and were more competent then the children who took instant gratification. They found that the children who were more persistent were also more assertive, confident, likely to pursue challenges, able to manage frustration and were not likely to give up. The study ultimately showed that impulsive people were less likely to succeed in life compared to people who delay gratification.

By disciplining yourself to work hard and meet your goals you will have a new sense of self-esteem and self discipline, you will also find the strength to control your thoughts and lead a happier life.http://www.accomplishlife.com/articles/737/1/Improve-Your-Mood/Page1.html
