Do I need help?
Many people with an eating disorder feel that they aren’t “sick enough” to get help. However, help is beneficial for anyone with an eating problem – no matter how mild or severe. If you are struggling with your eating and weight, or just feel that you’d like to move your life forward, then getting help is a priority.
What types of help are available?
Fortunately, the types of help for eating disorders are increasing and becoming more effective. Working with a psychologist who is experienced in eating disorders is key, and you could also look at seeing a specialised dietitian, attending groups to learn new skills, seeing a psychiatrist for medication or attending an in-patient treatment centre. There are also support groups and other options available.
