Can SSRIs be used in people with anorexia?

Does the patient's weight exclude the possibility of taking antidepressants/anxiolytics? The patient suffers from anorexia and has significant malnutrition. Can a psychiatrist prescribe medication in this case? Is there a minimum when it comes to BMI?

The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for people with eating disorders such as anorexia can be an individual matter and depends on many factors. The decision to use SSRIs in a person with anorexia is made by a specialist doctor, usually a psychiatrist or a doctor dealing with an eating disorder. They must consider the individual circumstances, the patient's condition, the possible benefits and risks of treating SSRIs. This is possible, but the decision must be made under the care of a doctor. I encourage you to read: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/anoreksja-jak-leczyc-jadlowstret-psychiczny
