anorexia
ll tell you the treatment centers they show on TV and actual treatment center, are two very different things. i was admitted last summer, and it's nothing like what you think. We had art projects, games, open converstaion, walks, the staff was very nice. I mean there not all creepy like you see on TV.
How long has it been that you can't eat? It must be awhile for those things to start happening to your body.
If you are unable to do so, you could always ask your family or friend to do it for you. Once anorexia is diagnosed, the treatment involves various types of behavior therapies, nutritional guidance, medications to control hunger, food satiety, and exercise and yoga. Please consult a good psychologist/psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders. Take care!
outpatient day treatment, residential treatment or possibly inpatient treatment. Go to your campus’ health center for your physical symptoms.

I'm a 27-year-old female and I "recovered" from severe anorexia after in-patient treatment in 2005. I'm 5'3" tall and weighed in the low 70s before treatment. After treatment, I was eating about 1850 calories a day and weighed just under 100 pounds (still low, I know). I continued eating about that much and exercised a bit more (but not much), and by spring 2006, my weight had dropped for some unknown reason to about 83 pounds. I was secretly pleased but disturbed.

I was wondering about the medical and social differences between patients with anorexia and patients with orthorexia, or if generally they are felt to be the same disease?

Diagnosis of eating disorders requires you to step outside of it and ask for help. The best place to start may be to have a physical and express your eating practices and concerns over your weight at that time. If your physician agrees you have an unhealth relationship with food, they may suggest the next step for help.
Are you under treatment by an anorexia specialist? As you may have learned, the disorder is very, very difficult to treat.
There is a little evidence that certain antidepressants of the SSRI class may help somewhat. I don't have anorexia, but I do have panic attacks, and my experience is that if your shrink tries you out on several (I tried 4 or 5), one of them may prove to be the magic bullet for that problem. In my case, a wee dose of Zoloft did the job.
i suspect only larger liver transplant centers would agree to transplant someone of his age so a second opinion should be sought.
i hope this is helpful.
I'm glad you are reaching out about this. Based on what you have said in your question, I don't know if you meet all of the DSM criteria to be diagnosed as anorexic, BUT your behaviors are putting you well on your way to that diagnosis. I'm in recovery from anorexia and it started as EDNOS but very quickly turned into full blown anorexia. You say this has been going on off and on for a few months and the best advice I can offer is to get help asap.
Like in AA, treatment centers are a forum for addicts and alcoholics to meet and share their common problems and share ideas about solutions. I think I related more to my fellow patients more than with AA members. Don't get me wrong, I completely relate to everyone in the rooms of AA/NA, But at that point in time, I really needed to be with people that were suferring, withdrawling and as desperate as I was.
Is there ANY treatment center in the US that my husband can go to without insurance or payment before service?
Hey Mike, you're right, not all are fortunate enough to get to a treatment center. It's unfortunate that they are not more accessible to everyone, but I can tell you that you don't need treatment to get through detox, and involve yourself in a 12 step program. Basically that is the outcome of any treatment program.
