I : I think that seeing a therapist in your area to help work on the underlying psychological issues is extremely important. They can help teach you coping mechanisms on how to manage stress and anxiety. Additionally, seeing a psychiatrist can be very helpful. Many bigger health systems will have specialists in eating disorders (tend to be adolescent psychiatrists) as well as support groups. Support groups are very important to learn from others in your situation.

Dr. James greenblatt has found zinc deficiency in many of his patients with eating disorders. (his book is on amazon.Com) . Obviously psychologist and psychiatrists can help; you can also network out through your church (if you attend), and local social service agencies.
