  Binge-eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa are potentially life-threatening disorders that involve complex psychosocial issues. A strong therapeutic relationship between the physician and patient is necessary for assessing the psychosocial and medical factors used to determine the appropriate level of care. Most patients can be effectively treated in the outpatient setting by a health care team that includes a physician, a registered dietitian, and a therapist. Psychiatric consultation may be beneficial. Patients may require inpatient care if they are suicidal or have life-threatening medical complications, such as marked bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia, severe electrolyte disturbances, end-organ compromise, or weight below 85 percent of their healthy body weight. For the treatment of binge-eating disorder and bulimia nervosa, good evidence supports the use of interpersonal and cognitive behavior therapies, as well as antidepressants. Limited evidence supports the use of guided self-help programs as a first step in a stepped-care approach to these disorders. For patients with anorexia nervosa, the effectiveness of behavioral or pharmacologic treatments remains unclear.

  https://childmind.org/article/family-based-treatment-for-eating-disorders/

  The core of family-based treatment is the assumption that parents are capable of helping a child recover from an eating disorder. “FBT relies on that core parental capacity to feed your child,” says Daniel Le Grange, PhD, one of the founders of FBT and director of the Eating Disorders Program at the University of California, San Francisco. “In practice, it coaches parents to do the same job that nurses in an in-patient program would do.” […] In FBT, a clinician guides parents or caregivers in replicating the two major components of in-patient eating disorder treatment: empathy for the child and, in Dr. Le Grange’s words, “an environment in which not eating is not an option.” […] FBT has been shown to be efficacious for underweight kids (with anorexia nervosa) and kids with binge eating and purging behavior (bulimia nervosa). FBT has also been used for kids with other eating disorders such as atypical anorexia or ARFID, but the evidence is not quite as robust as it is for anorexia and bulimia.

A mental health clinician guides parents in showing their child empathy while also enforcing strict rules about eating. Parents choose, prepare and serve all of the child’s foods. They require the child to eat and offer lots of support. The child and their parents meet with a clinician every week for coaching on this process. […] Family-based treatment is a big commitment. It’s helpful to think of the treatment like any other emergency medical treatment. It changes everyone’s routines, but the changes are necessary to save the child’s life. In later phases of treatment, the child slowly takes charge of their own eating again.

  Outpatient therapy including medical, nutrition, individual, family and group therapy. […] Placing parents in charge of daily nutrition is the first step in changing the momentum of the eating disorder symptoms that impact a child’s emotional and physical health. The core of our approach to nutrition is called „Parent Supported Nutrition.” Parents work closely with our dietitians to plan the meals and snacks their child eats in the program and at home. […] Parents’ involvement in treatment occurs right at the start our program. It’s no secret that parents know their child’s food preferences better than anyone, and we teach you how to establish a well-balanced meal plan. Meal plans can then be adjusted to support weight gain or maintenance in a thoughtful and effective manner. This process empowers parents as they work closely with the dietitian, learning meal planning during the first week of treatment and writing meal plans for their child.

  https://childmind.org/article/family-based-treatment-for-eating-disorders/

  The idea behind family-based treatment is that getting the child nourished is the most important thing. That’s because it’s hard for kids to think clearly when they are starving. Once they start eating more, they can get perspective on their eating disorder and start to behave in a healthier way. […] As long as your child does not need emergency medical or psychiatric treatment, recovering from an eating disorder at home is usually the best option. A clinician can help you manage the changes in routine and find ways to balance your other responsibilities. […] Traditional approaches to treating eating disorders in children and young adults often involve removing kids from their homes — and their parents — for in-patient psychiatric treatment. […] In cases where a young person with an eating disorder needs immediate medical or psychiatric care, in-patient treatment is still recommended. But the treatment experts prefer for most kids with anorexia or bulimia lets kids remain at home, with parents taking the lead in helping them recover. Family-based treatment (or FBT) gives parents the job of strictly supervising the patient’s eating, and evidence shows that it is the quickest way for an underweight child to return to a healthy weight.

  https://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/treatment-for-eating-disorders/medications

  Many mental health disorders can be treated using pharmacological medications. Eating disorders have been challenging in this respect as, for quite some time, medications have been available to support the mood symptoms related to eating disorder behaviors but not the behaviors themselves. […] While treating co-occurring mental health disorders continues to be helpful in eating disorder treatment, researchers are also continuing to search for medications that can treat the eating disorder behaviors themselves. […] One of the most common ways in which medication is helpful in treating eating disorders is by treating comorbid disorders and symptoms. Many individuals use eating disorder behaviors to cope with symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and more. Utilizing medication to reduce the occurrence of these symptoms can, subsequently, help reduce the eating disorder behaviors that were used to cope with the symptoms.

[…] With any of the medications mentioned above, it is crucial to consult with a Psychiatrist before taking any or becoming attached to the idea of any medication “saving” you. There is no current medication approved as a stand-alone treatment for eating disorders, therefore, engaging in a multi-disciplinary treatment that includes therapy and nutritional support is also crucial for recovery.
