Is there a way to help a friend that has eating disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

TREATMENT: Most people with eating disorders have problems they aren't aware of. Psychotherapy can help one to understand how to deal with the problems rather than continue to jeprodize their health. Sometimes cognitive therapy is the answer, sometimes insight based therapy, sometimes both. Some psychiatrists and other therapists are experienced with eating disorders encourage friends to get treatment.
