A member asked:
What should i do to help my anorexic female friend who is 15 years old? she is in treatment, and i feel unuseful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Just be her friend: Right now everybody may be focusing on her anorexia symptoms and giving her advise about that, telling her what to do. She needs friends who listen to her feelings, show interest in things she is interested in, to feel cared for and included. If she is in the hospital, share news about things happening at school, etc.
