At Thriveworks, Eating disorders begins with a thorough assessment and personalized treatment plan. Central to eating disorder therapy is psychotherapy, often employing cognitive behavioral therapy and other specialized techniques to target negative thought patterns.
CBT’s remission rate, according to some research, is generally between 50-30% for those seeking assistance for eating disorder symptoms.

Negative Effects of Eating Disorders
The ill effects of eating disorders tend to linger; sometimes they even last for a lifetime. The body has to have nutrients to function properly—if these nutrients are denied, the body will malfunction and this will cause a host of problems as well as illnesses and diseases like scurvy, hypertension, and even cardiovascular disease.
The act of purging itself poses a risk; regurgitated food can become a stuck in the throat and cut off the oxygen supply. Those who suffer from eating disorders also tend to carry emotional scars, scars that cause an endless cycle of guilt, shame, and depression.
