5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Research studies raise the possibility that medications such as quetiapine may improve mood or reduce obsessions in people with anorexia nervosa and may even help to normalize appetite. The medication quetiapine also known as seroquel works by activating certain systems in the brain, such as ones known as dopamine and serotonin chemical systems in the brain.
