A review of studies published in 2024 on eating disorder treatment covers advances for anorexia nervosa, including better severity measures and treatment targets, and for binge-spectrum disorders, the role of purging and non-purging behaviors. Novel interventions such as yoga-based and ayahuasca-based approaches, along with methods to aid weight restoration, are examined. Evidence on comorbidities and their effect on illness severity and outcomes, access to specialized care, and non-outpatient levels of care is also reviewed. The articles indicate promise in treatment advances but underscore the need for further work to develop more effective therapies.
