It involves utilizing the parents as an integral part of the recovery process, which may not be applicable for "older" adults. This form of therapy is emerging as the treatment of choice for adolescents with AN as it has been shown to be effective in clinical RCTs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-83014771418177743372011-07-02T15:38:24.632-04:002011-07-02T15:38:24.632-04:00^^ I kind of thought the same thing when I read th...^^ I kind of thought the same thing when I read the inclusion criteria for the adult study. I thought to myself, damn I feel old when I don't even meet the cut off for adults at 34. LOL. <br /><br />But it is a study for younger adults so they have to cut it off at a point. Perhaps in the future they will do further research on different age groups and other subsets provided these studies prove to be worthwhile. <br /><br />I don't think they intend to imply that people over the age of 30, nor under the age of 12, don't suffer from eating disorders. They are simply defining study parameters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-74051193282375651002011-07-01T18:29:25.894-04:002011-07-01T18:29:25.894-04:00As typical, once you hit 30 you obviously either d...As typical, once you hit 30 you obviously either don't have anorexia nervosa or you don't need treatment. I don't understand why they restricted the study to ages 18-30, but I am not surprised.Angela Elain Gambrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199876962091491591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-38943423374902544552011-07-01T17:36:05.732-04:002011-07-01T17:36:05.732-04:00I know this doesnt have anything to do with the st...I know this doesnt have anything to do with the study but I have a question. I am also in recovery and have hit a bit of a road bump. Lately I can't sleep! I can fall asleep but come 3:00 A.M. I wake up, my stomach starts to growl and I go downstairs and make a snack. My ED has always been over-exercise and restriction so this is kind of new to me in my journey. I am no longer engaging in ED behaviors so I am having difficulty grasping why my body is doing this to me? Did you experience anything similar? I admire your strength and trust your insight. Thank you for always being honest and open on your blog. It has helped me through many dark days.<br />CJ Weaber<br />http://cjh002.wordpress.com/CJ Weaberhttp://cjh002.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
