What Are the Treatments for Anorexia Athletica?
Anorexia athletica is also known as compulsive exercise. Those who suffer from anorexia athletica differ from healthy avid exercisers in that workouts take over their daily lives. Compulsive exercisers continue to work out beyond more than is necessary to be in good health. This is because they feel an inherent need to, in order to avoid anxiety and guilt. There are a variety of treatment options for anorexia athletica, depending on the severity. Treatments may include medical attention, therapy, nutritional help, and/or hospitalization. Treating anorexia athletica may take months or years.
