There are various treatment routes that can be used effectively to help treat eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. Finding the right treatment for your child will depend on a few factors including:
Even when they feel motivated and committed to recovery, the entrenched thoughts and anxiety, guilt, shame and other strong emotions that come with an eating disorder can make change slow and difficult.
Research repeatedly shows that early intervention is one of the key factors in ensuring recovery from an eating disorder. We know it is often incredibly hard for parents to know what to do if the suspect or know their child has disordered eating behaviours – if your child will not engage in treatment themselves, you may wish to have an appointment on your own with a Psychiatrist or Psychologist to talk about what can be done.
It can take huge courage to seek help for an eating disorder. It’s common for children and teenagers to say it is just a phase and that they will get better once they have overcome a period of stress. As a parent, we don’t want to push our children or upset them, but getting help early on really does make a huge difference. Eating disorders are incredibly powerful, so getting the right support to help your child can make all the difference.
We also know that the sooner treatment begins following an individual coming forward to ask for help, the better the outcome – it’s very common for eating disorders to become a lot worse whilst on a waiting list to start treatment1.
The whole experience was so helpful, we really felt listened to and never felt judged at all. Our daughter gets on really well with her psychologist and always seem calmer and happier after a session.
