Recovering from Anorexia
|
Angela has seen what Anorexia Nervosa can do to families - its impact is devastating for the whole family.
Anorexia Nervosa is a severe eating disorder which often emerges between the ages of 14 to early twenties, although it can affect older people. It affects mostly girls but boys are also known to affect boys. With Covid and Lockdowns, eating disorders have increased in the number of those living with the disorders. Anorexia is one of them. What is Anorexia Nervosa? Anorexia is a serious mental health disorder where the person living with Anorexia tries to keep their weight as low as possible and in doing so severely restricts their food intake. This severe food restriction can be fatal. They are, essentially, starving their body of vital nutrition and energy and have huge anxieties around food and the intake of food. They may skip meals and not eat for days at a time and when they do, it's of very little calorific value. |
What can be done about recovering from Anorexia?
It is essential that medical attention is sought immediately by the family - calling your GP in the first instance, so that you can assess the physical health of your loved one and get a formal diagnosis. Getting medical assistance as a first port of call is essential in helping your loved one recover.

It is the families, or the parents, who are vital to the recovery of an adolescent living with Anorexia. The families also suffer, they too live with the eating disorder. Living with Anorexia, as a person practising Anorexia or the family of that person, is a very hard and stressful experience.
