The optimal treatment of eating disorders typically requires a multidisciplinary team of experts in the following fields:
-
Medicine: Medical professionals assess and manage the physical health aspects and any medical complications associated with eating disorders.
-
Mental Health: Psychologists, psychiatrists, or counselors provide psychotherapy and support for the psychological issues underlying eating disorders.
-
Nutrition: Registered dietitians or nutritionists develop tailored meal plans and provide education on healthy eating habits.
Physical education, while beneficial for general health and well-being, is not typically considered a core component of the multidisciplinary treatment team specifically focused on eating disorders. Therefore, the appropriate selections are:
- Medicine
- Mental health
- Nutrition
