- Heart rhythm disturbance, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances or psychiatric problems.
- Hospitalization may be required for medical complications, psychiatric emergencies, severe malnutrition or continued refusal to eat. Hospitalization may be on a medical or psychiatric ward.
- Family-based therapy.-Due to anorexia nervosa effects, the individual is not trusted alone, which leads to family orientated therapy. This method introduces parents to aiding in the restoration of re-feeding and restoring their child's weight to a normal range. This type of psychotherapy is very encouraged since people dealing with anorexia tend to alienate themselves from their families and friends. The focus of this method is to make the anorexia individual feel safe, loved and supported through their transition.
- Individual therapy. -Cognitive behavioral therapy is to regulate and normalize eating habits and behaviors that encourage weight gain. Also, this method aids in changing distorted ideas and thoughts that lead to negative self evaluation. This is done on a regular weekly basis or in a day treatment program where the patient and psychologist focus is to restore a better self evaluation about the person.
