The methodologies used by eating disorder treatment centers to treat anorexia nervosa generally also help those affected by atypical anorexia. In many cases, residential or inpatient eating disorder treatment centers offer useful resources to people with eating disorders in the short term. Residents usually stay for a period of 30 days. Treatment centers often employ holistic care, using medical, psychiatric, therapeutic, and nutritional interventions to help the patients recover.
There are also outpatient or non-residential treatment centers, where patients arrive in the morning and leave in the evening. Day treatment centers can include partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and flexible programs to accommodate patients who have just left a residential treatment center. The most common types of therapy practiced at inpatient and outpatient treatment centers include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which addresses and seeks to implement both cognitive and behavioral changes through specified strategies and a flexible series of sequenced therapeutic procedures.
Most patients are treated as outpatients, with a combination of: Talk therapy, Nutrition education, General medical care & Medications
With a combination of these treatments, most patients eventually recover, and reach partial of full remission within a few years of developing first symptoms. However, one study shows that around 10% of anorexia patients do not get better and eventually become chronic.
Despite being the disease with the highest fatality rate in psychiatry, there are still no approved pharmaceutical treatments for Anorexia in Europe and in the United States of America. Furthermore, effective treatment options are even less clear for severe cases.
While many symptoms of atypical anorexia resemble those of anorexia nervosa, it often goes undiagnosed because people who suffer from it are still within normal weight limits. Many people suffering from atypical anorexia may deem themselves or be deemed as "not sick enough", and use their weight as a justification.
Physical: Yellowing and/or drying skin, Abdominal pain, Gastrointestinal issues, Reduced immune system function, Constipation, Lethargy and low energy
Behavioral and Emotional: Hyperfocus on weight, size, and shape; Low self-esteem; Distorted body image; Fixation on food, nutritional content, and/or bodily impact of food; Refusing to eat or be seen eating; Emotional dysregulation (including but not limited to increased irritability, and mood swings); mDifficulty thinking and focusing
