Do you think an Eating Disorder
is about food?
Think again!
You would be wrong!
An eating disorder is about FEELINGS!
FOOD IS THE SYMPTON
IT IS NOT THE CAUSE!
Sufferers need specialised treatment to move
forward with their illness!
The sufferer needs to want to get better and
take the responsibility for that.
They need supervision from the GP to monitor
them physically and medically They need their GP to be understanding
and know the correct pathways to getting the psychological help
the patient needs.
The carer's need support also!
An eating disorder is a whole family concern
and one which can put undoubtable strain on all parties concerned.
A sufferer needs and relies on the suppport
of family and friends.
A sufferer will never conquer this illness
without professional intervention!

offer support to both sufferers and carers so that they can get
the treatment they need!

of eating disorders - we know all too well what a devastating illness
this is!
