My friend is anorexic please help. what can i do for her?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Does she agree?: If so, encourage her to make an appointment with a doctor for starters. It's important to find out if the anorexia has caused any medical problems, or, conversely, if a medical problem s causing her anorexia. If she disagrees, that will be a big challenge. While you don't want to coerce her, it's okay to be gently persistent in voicing your concerns for her well-being. Dr. Anne
