Resumen
Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric disorder with an unknown etiology that is characterized
by an individual’s preoccupation with their weight and body structure while denying the severity of
their low body weight. Due to the fact that anorexia nervosa is multifaceted and may indicate the coex istence of genetic, social, hormonal, and psychiatric disorders, a description of non-pharmacological
interventions can be used to ameliorate or reduce the symptoms of this condition. Consequently, the
purpose of the present narrative review is to describe the profile’s context in the anorexic person as
well as the support they would require from their family and environment. In addition, it is aimed at
examining preventative and non-pharmacological interventions, such as nutritional interventions,
physical activity interventions, psychological interventions, psychosocial interventions, and physical
therapy interventions. To reach the narrative review aims, a critical review was conducted utilizing
both primary sources, such as scientific publications, and secondary sources, such as bibliographic
indexes, web pages, and databases. Nutritional interventions include nutritional education and an
individualized treatment for each patient, physical activity interventions include allowing patients to
perform controlled physical activity, psychological interventions include family therapy and evalua tion of the existence of other psychological disorders, psychosocial interventions include management
of the relationship between the patient and social media and physical therapy interventions include
relaxation massages and exercises to relieve pain. All these non-pharmacological interventions need
to be individualized based on each patient’s needs.
