Research on the treatment of adolescents with anorexia nervosa is limited but shows that effective strategies employ a multidisciplinary team approach. Most patients receive medical attention when there is an acute medical or psychiatric emergency after losing a significant amount of weight and there is a need for nutritional and metabolic stabilization. Medical and nutritional stabilization are the first courses of treatment, followed by psychological stabilization. Initial treatment settings are dependent on the severity of symptoms and can range from inpatient to partial hospitalization or from day treatment to outpatient clinics. Physical activity and weight gain must be gradually accomplished. Effective treatment includes a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches (individuals and family therapy). Psychopharmacotherapy is generally unreliable in the treatment of anorexia nervosa and should be targeted to specific symptoms or complications. Prevention programs have been shown to have limited success.
