Treatment of orthorexia: medication? No. A psychiatrist and a nutritionist can help
The most difficult step in the treatment of orthorexia is to accept the fact that the diet the patient thought was healthy is not.
Dr. Bratmann says this treatment is a bit easier than treating anorexia or bulimia, and he reasons that the patient often becomes self-aware of his or her addiction and obsession with food.
This is a key moment in treatment, however, because accepting reality is the hardest part.
Ideally, treatment for orthorexia and other eating disorders should be led by a psychiatrist in collaboration with a nutrition counselor.
