Helping Those with Eating Disorders
If someone you know has an eating disorder, the signs often are obvious. What can be more challenging is how to respond in a compassionate and appropriate way. If they are not receiving treatment, support them in seeking it. Try not to regulate what the person eats, since those with eating disorders struggle with control issues. Anorexia and bulimia convince people that life is about merely food and weight, making life small. As a friend or parent, help them see other avenues. Visit friends. Travel. Play tennis. Start a book club. By helping them expand their possibilities, you’ll be supporting their health.
