In 1984, Treasure was awarded the Gaskell medal from the Royal College of Psychiatrists. In 2004 she was honoured to be awarded the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED) Leadership Award in Research, which honours individuals who have developed new knowledge regarding eating disorders through research over the course of 10 years or more, with a significant and measurable impact on the field. This must have been done either by making strides in the development of the understanding of eating disorder aetiologies, by developing treatments or developing new lines of research. This is an internationally acknowledged and respected award. In 2007, the national eating disorder charity Beat awarded Professor Treasure the Eating Disorders National Award.
