    +1 on weight restoration **in conjunction with other interventions**

    Weight restoration appears to independently produce some positive changes to brain chemistry, similarly to how the previous caloric restriction produced negative ones.

    Bingo. Starvation and severe underweight status seriously affects the brain. So yes, gaining weight won't solve the problem, *but* it at least works to try to remove one of the noise signals that affects recovery.

    Just like eating more won't fix the root cause, all the talk therapy in the world won't fix the health issues and downstream brain effects that having a BMI in the low teens causes. Hopefully Sefa has people working with her who will step in and remove those barriers. She's not her best advocate right now.
