Yeah, fasting and exercise. Perhaps there is a biochemical basis to anorexia.

Actually, thats not my idea. Some smart guy proposed that people with anorexia nervosa are using exercise and fasting to replace BDNF which is deficiant for some reason.

I think the data is strong for lithium and valproate with BDNF.

Antidepressants, yes, but not all studies show an effect, nor a sustained effect.

Too much attention on BDNF though, as there are other neurotrophins such as NT-3 which also seem to have antidepressant effect.
