TCA

Is recovery possible in long-term eating disorders?

Broadly speaking, there is currently some consensus in assessing the recovery according to three dimensions:

  • Physical criteria
  • Behavioral
  • Psychological/cognitive

As time passes, the chances of recovery decrease, but there is always a possibility. However, the treatment and characteristics of the case, as well as the objectives, must be reassessed, setting realistic expectations.

It is important to focus on the psychosocial consequences and improve the quality of life despite not achieving a full recovery, trying to regain hope and establish a more meaningful life.
