Identification, Assessment & Management of Anorexia Nervosa

Introduction

The purpose of this OPEN eLearning module is to help family physicians understand the linkages between depression in anorexia nervosa and the necessity of eating for wellness.

In order for clinicians to adequately treat patients with eating disorders, it is essential that they understand the presentation, the neurological correlates of these symptoms, and the linkages with depression. It is also essential for practitioners to understand the potential positive outcomes for patients, so that they can work to foster a return to wellness.
