Maudsley Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults (MANTRA)

MANTRA (Maudsley Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults) is a specialized, evidence-based therapy designed to help adults recover from anorexia nervosa. It focuses on understanding each person's unique thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related to food and body image. The approach combines psychological techniques, such as cognitive-behavioral strategies, with family or support involvement when appropriate. MANTRA aims to improve motivation, challenge distorted beliefs about weight and eating, and support gradual, sustainable recovery. It is tailored to the individual's needs and promotes a compassionate understanding of the disorder, helping individuals regain health and develop healthier attitudes toward food and self.
