After completing the readings and watching the videos for this week, complete this assignment.
Using the DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and evidence-based scholarly articles, address the following:
· Describe the neurology of anorexia. Does the characterization of anorexia as a brain disorder surprise you? What are your thoughts on the personal and/or cultural implications of classifying anorexia (and other mental illnesses) in this way, as opposed to a lifestyle choice or a matter of willpower? How might you support a family (or client) who is resistant to this interpretation?
· Describe and discuss changes in personality and social behavior that might be seen with anorexia. How would you assess for these changes?
· Provide an overview of the health consequences and medical complications of anorexia
· Create a treatment plan for a client with anorexia using family-based therapy or other evidence-based therapy.
