Do you make yourself vomit intentionally?
Treatment aims to overcome the fear of weight gain, and subsequently to maintain a healthy weight. This is done mostly through therapy of different forms with a counselor. Group and family therapy sessions may help too. Medications can be given to help with associated problems like anxiety or depression. In severe cases where there is malnourishment, hospitalization may be needed to monitor and bring weight back up to a healthy level.
