The recommended approach for individuals participating in treatment for an eating disorder involves the use of a multidisciplinary treatment team which includes a physician, dietitian, and a mental health provider. Sometimes a psychiatrist, social worker, activity therapist, and/or an occupational therapist might also be included in this team. Occupational therapy addresses an individual's ability to engage in meaningful daily activities. The ability to actively participate in these activities is impacted when an individual has an eating disorder. Therefore, research suggests that eating disorder treatment include occupational therapy to best support the individual in working toward and maintaining recovery, and ultimately empowering them in living life to the fullest.
