Anorexia nervosa

What activities can I do with a teenager admitted for an eating disorder when she has a free afternoon?

The main recommendation is that you propose activities and start conversations that have nothing to do with weight or body image, and that you can focus on activities that encourage emotional connection, creativity and positive distraction.

Is locking the kitchen door a good way to control my daughter's binge eating?

Binge eating is a symptom of an eating disorder (ED). When someone we care about experiences binge eating episodes as a result of this disorder, it can be difficult to know how to help them.

Recovery

How can I tell if I'm recovering from anorexia?

Recovery from anorexia is a personal and non-linear process that involves physical, psychological, and social changes, and requires time, support, and acceptance that relapses can occur. Some signs of recovery include:

Eating disorders in adulthood

Eating disorders (EDs) don't only affect teenagers. They can appear at any point in life, and it's important to detect them and receive appropriate professional help. Furthermore, it's not true that the symptoms or distress associated with these disorders disappear with age. Therefore, it's essential that both those affected and their families are attentive to signs of relapse or any suspicion of an emerging ED, regardless of the person's age. In this session, we'll focus on eating disorders in adulthood, answering all your questions.
