TREATMENT

1. Determine if your eating habits could be improved. Visit a health clinic or talk to a nutritionist or dietitian about ways to improve your diet.

2. If you or someone you know is showing signs of an eating disorder, get help. If you suspect a friend has an eating disorder, tell him or her about your concerns. Ask him or her to talk to a counselor or doctor who knows about eating issues, and offer to go along to the appointment. Don’t place shame, blame, or guilt on your friend. Let your friend know you are there for him or her.

3. Talk to someone you can trust (Parent, Friend, Doctor, Counselor, Teacher, etc…)
