What should I do if I suffer from anorexia during adolescence?

The biggest headache for children with anorexia is for parents. Anorexia among teenagers is not uncommon, and parents have put in a lot of thought. They can cook the same food in dozens of ways, but the children still won’t eat it. They beat, scold, and coax their children in order to get them to eat, but to no avail. Parents can only worry helplessly. Dear parents and friends, are you also worried about your children not eating? Your child is always thinner than other children of the same age. Are you very worried about this? Don’t worry. If you use the right method, your child will enjoy whatever he eats. Let me tell you what to do.

Anorexia is a very serious disease. Once you suffer from this disease, the impact on the patient is very serious and may even be life-threatening, so active treatment of the disease is very necessary. But how to treat it? Many patients are confused because of this problem. In order to let everyone see the dawn of life, here are some detailed methods to treat this disease:

(1) Physical therapy

For those with milder conditions, first, with the patient's consent, a reasonable eating plan is developed, with strict standards for the calorie intake of each meal. The patient is encouraged to work hard to achieve the plan, and the dangers of nutritional deficiencies, such as effects on brain and body development, are explained. After the patient achieves the plan, appropriate rewards are given to reinforce adherence to the eating plan. Patients with severe conditions must be hospitalized for compulsory treatment to prevent the condition from worsening, especially those with severe malnutrition and endocrine dysfunction. Patients with irregular menstruation and amenorrhea must be hospitalized for systematic treatment or use a small amount of hormones under the guidance of a doctor.

Nutrition should be supplemented in time, through intravenous rehydration, albumin transfusion, blood transfusion and nasogastric feeding. When the physical condition improves and cooperates with the treatment, insulin hypoglycemia treatment can be tried, but the dosage should be gradually increased to avoid severe hypoglycemia. Insulin hypoglycemia treatment is beneficial to improve physical nutrition, increase the patient's appetite and strengthen the body.

It is generally believed that anorexia is related to depression. Therefore, antidepressants are currently used for treatment, such as clomipramine, azithromycin, and doxepin. The earliest drug used to treat anorexia was a small dose of chlorpromazine, which is used to treat patients who are extremely afraid of being fat and cannot objectively evaluate their own body shape. For those who are severely malnourished, they should be hospitalized. If the patient refuses, coercive measures should be taken to save their lives.

(2) Psychotherapy

First of all, we need to improve patients' cognition, establish correct aesthetic concepts, and enable them to correctly understand the concept of a healthy body and the significance of standard weight and slim figure. Only by having an objective understanding of your physical condition and overcoming anorexic behavior can you achieve the goal of restoring weight. Anorexia caused by environmental changes. We should pay more attention to patients and adjust their emotions in time. For anorexia caused by physiological factors, we should first help parents establish a correct understanding and educate them. The patient's anorexia behavior should be treated "coldly". Do not use intimidation or threats to force the child to eat. Instead, gradually cultivate good eating habits in the child.

Supportive psychotherapy encourages patients to participate in physical exercise and perform scientific fitness exercises to achieve beauty rather than through dieting. Family intervention is also an important factor. For patients with anorexia, supervision and encouragement from their families is a major factor in ensuring their recovery. Because the patient's family members care about the patient's health more than anyone else, they will take good care of him or her.

The above are some common methods for treating anorexia introduced to you. I hope that patients who are in confusion can get the good news and recover soon. In addition, everyone must develop good eating habits in daily life, and men and women who love beauty should stop dieting excessively to lose weight.
