A member asked:

My son has a mental disorder and now an eating disorder and i would like to know what weight should i be concerned about to take him to see a doctor ? he will 22 years in 2 months and weighs right now 127 pounds . he lost around 25pounds so far ..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

When possible: An eating disorder to this degree is not something you can handle at home. Take him is as soon as a space is available. The urgent care entrance of a mental hospital may be a reasonable source of screening given the two issues overlap. This can be fatal if not addressed properly.
