    Causes and Treatment
    ::原因和治疗问题

    People with eating disorders usually have other mental health problems as well, most commonly depression.

Treatment usually includes resolving underlying emotional problems as well as treating depression or other mental health disorders that are also present. In patients with anorexia nervosa, weight gain is also an important goal of treatment.
