Medical Research Breakthroughs and Anorexia Nervosa

Promising news for bulimia nervosa: A news report on eating disorders reveals discouraging news for patients suffering from anorexia nervosa but promising news for those with bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Researchers at North Carolina studied 181 cases on treatment and the outcome for all the three eating disorders. They say that there are no medications and fewer therapies available to treat anorexia patients. The study reveals that cognitive behavioral therapy was effective for bulimia patients. Researchers have also found that Fluoxetine 60mg a day reduced the symptoms in the short term. Investigators say several medications showed promise for reducing the symptoms of binge eating disorder in short term trials, including antidepressants, anticonvulsants and an appetite suppressant. Cognitive behavioral therapy and some forms of self help are also helpful. However it is said that more research is needed on treatments for all the three eating disorders.
