Meditation effective in reducing suffering for Anorexia patients: Research

Unfortunately, many family members, acquaintances, and celebrities have suffered from anorexia nervosa, or AN, a severe mental condition characterised by excessive worries about weight, form, and self-esteem. An eating disorder, dietary restriction, purposeful vomiting, and acute emaciation are all symptoms of AN. Mindfulness meditation has already become a widely accepted treatment for AN. Its usefulness in clinically treating neurogenic emaciation, on the other hand, had not before been investigated. The researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging -- or fMRI -- to analyze attention regulation in relation to eating disorders.
