Anorexia Nervosa is not about food: it is about power. When the person suffering with the disease realizes that the disease has power over him or her, committed, medical attention is required.
Generally, in confinement, patients are required to gain up to half a pound a day, or forgo privileges, such as television. A prolonged confinement may be required in order to work through the physical and emotional issues involved with professional help and guidance.
Most importantly, the family and support system must recognize that the disease cannot have power over them, too. They must make it clear to the 'patient' that a refusal to eat or to participate in mealtimes is powerless over the group.
