Help for families
Are you concerned that your child or loved one has developed, or is developing, an eating disorder?
Eating and feeding disorders are just as difficult for families to live with. It’s not always easy to spot them, especially during adolescence. It can be tough to tell what is just normal teenage behaviour and what is a serious problem.
Unfortunately, eating disorders are often associated with distorted body image and shame. That means that your child or loved one may minimise, struggle to talk about or even fail to recognise the problem.
