Anorexia is a mental disorder with a pronounced tendency to progress and recur. Unfortunately, simple measures like “feeding the patient up” do not work. Therapy of anorexia in Beijing involves a balanced, rational, and systemic approach that ensures both mental and somatic recovery.

Diagnosis of anorexia in Beijing is carried out by psychiatrists, internists, neurologists, and other related specialists.

Differentiation includes:

  • consultations with psychiatrists and psychotherapists,
  • examination by specialized doctors,
  • physical examinations,
  • ultrasound of the abdominal and pelvic organs,
  • endoscopic examinations,
  • laboratory tests,
  • neurological assessments,
  • gynecological examination.

The following methods are used in treatment:

  • individual and group (family) psychotherapy,
  • pharmacological treatment with antidepressants and other agents,
  • diet therapy, including parenteral nutrition in severe cases,
  • hormone therapy,
  • administration of calcium and glucose preparations,
  • hydrotherapy,
  • mineral water intake,
  • physiotherapy and spa procedures.

The length of stay in the clinic varies depending on the severity of the case. Local specialists do everything possible to relieve patients of dysmorphophobia, normalize the emotional background, and cure the somatic consequences of the disease.
