First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether a six-week creative writing program can help teens and young adults (ages 16-25) with anorexia nervosa express themselves and build emotional strength. Participants will read stories, write their own, and share in group discussions. The goal is to see if this approach improves well-being and self-expression alongside standard treatment.
