Assignment task:
BB is a 17-year-old female with a diagnosis of eating disorder and Depression. BB is being seen today for a follow-up visit; she presents with significant weight loss, restrictive eating patterns, and an intense fear of gaining weight. She has become socially distant, avoiding food-related situations. The therapist made an immediate referral to a specialized eating disorder clinic and was advised for a thorough treatment, which included medical monitoring and dietary counseling to address physical health concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) will address the underlying cognitive distortions associated with body image and eating. It was suggested that the patient begin journaling his or her thoughts and feelings about food and body image to become more aware of triggers. Family-based therapy (FBT) is recommended for involving and supporting family members in the recovery process. Follow up in one week. Please write a follow up visit. Want Online Tutoring?
