An SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) is most commonly used to treat eating disorders, as they can help reduce symptoms such as obsessive thoughts about food, anxiety, and depression. hypnotics and long-acting benzodiazepines are typically prescribed for insomnia or anxiety, and antipsychotics are not typically used for eating disorders.
