A member asked:
Has it been determined that people with eating disorders can only cure themselves if they want to?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Any behavioral issue: In order to be successful needs to have the support and participation of the patient. Addictions and similar eating disorders require self-searching, insight, and behavior / lifestyle modifications by the patient. If not ready to commit to them, treatment will not be successful for any length of time.
