A member asked:
Is someone who is open about their eating disorder is "attention seeking"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No not at all: I think they are trying to get support and overcome a serious problem. Be supportive and encourage them to talk about their challenges. Help them in situations where food may be tempting them to eat improperly.
