Abstract
Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are common problems facing adolescents and young adults. Treatment of these disorders poses a challenge to health care providers given the general paucity of clinical trials to guide management. There is evidence to support the use of CBT as well as psychopharmacotherapy to decrease binge and purge behaviors in bulimia nervosa. Significantly fewer trials have examined the efficacy of such therapies for anorexia nervosa. Short-term trials appear promising regarding potential treatments for bone loss in anorexia nervosa. The role of exercise in the management of anorexia nervosa remains controversial and begs future investigative efforts.
