It varies based on each individual case. For less-severe cases, therapy (mental, physical, nutritional) is usually done. For more intense cases, therapy is also conducted, but the patient might be admitted into a hospital and fed through an IV or with feeding tubes to quickly get the weight back up to a sustainable and healthy level. Drug therpay or medications can also be used to treat symptoms that are common in anorexics, like OCD, BDD, and depression.
