Eating Disorders & Cbt
Is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy effective in the treatment Eating Disorder?
Introduction
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is the recommended choice of treatment for people suffering eating disorders (NICE 2004). However, there is growing and mountain concerns that there is lack of clinical trail to prove the efficacy of CBT in treating eating disorders. Therefore, what this review aims to achieve is to examine and explore what studies and literature has been made available in this field and to systematically analyse these research or findings. In additions, it aims to make strong recommendations for way forward.
This paper will aim to critically examine some researcher articles, reviewing and questioning each stage of the research from begging to end. The rationale of choice is eating disorders have the highest mortality rate among all mental health illness in United Kingdom (NICE 2004). As a trainee CBT therapist it will be a great achievement to help scale this tread to its lowest.
What do l know about anorexia nervosa
Patients with an eating disorder of any type have a significantly increased risk for death, but anorexia nervosa appears to be particularly deadly and linked to the highest mortality and suicide rates, similarly elevated mortality rates were found for those with bulimia nervosa and eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS). However, the rate was even higher for those with anorexia nervosa, with a weighted annual rate of 5 deaths per 1000 person-years. Of those who died, 1 in 5 did so by committing suicide.
In addition, an older age at first presentation for those with anorexia, especially between the ages of 20 and 29 years, was found to be a significant predictor of mortality.
Results showed that the highest mortality rates were found for those with anorexia (weighted mortality, 5.1; SMR, 5.86).
Of the 12,808 total patients with anorexia, 639 died (mean follow-up period, 12.82 years). Among these, 1.3 deaths per 1000
