Pharmacotherapy

A key element of comprehensive treatment for eating disorders and other conditions. It includes the following aspects:

Nutritional rehabilitation: This is an essential element for people with eating disorders, aimed at restoring healthy eating habits and preventing refeeding syndrome, which can occur as a result of refeeding after a long period of malnutrition.

Monitoring the somatic state: Pharmacotherapy includes regular monitoring of the physical health of patients. This includes both routine medical check-ups and interventions in the event of specific health problems related to eating disorders.

Treatment of co-occurring mental disorders: Eating disorders often co-occur with other mental problems, such as depression, anxiety or personality disorders. Pharmacotherapy in such cases involves the use of medications that are directed at treating these co-occurring conditions, which is essential for the effectiveness of the entire treatment process.

Pharmacotherapy, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, allows for a holistic approach to the patient’s health, combining medical treatment with psychological support and nutritional rehabilitation.

The use of pharmacotherapy is part of a comprehensive treatment procedure that includes: nutritional rehabilitation for people with eating disorders with the prevention of the refeeding syndrome, monitoring of the somatic condition with the consideration of medical treatment (for all patients) and the treatment of coexisting mental disorders
