I have a wife with bulimia and it was getting to the point where I couldn't take it any more. She needed bulimia treatment badly, but I didn't know where to turn. Through the internet I came across your site and sent my wife for bulimia treatment at your center.
Whoever she first spoke with made her feel so comfortable, she even became excited about the possibility of not having to binge and purge any more. The change in her is amazing. I know she will always be recovering, but I am proud to say she is the most courageous person I know. Thank you for all of your help.

I needed to find an eating disorder clinic so badly. I used to eat compulsively and had swung over completely to purging and laxatives. I felt so bad about myself, the shame and guilt was just killing me. I had been to an eating disorder clinic before, but they really did not address my mood swings, that I have since understood them to be a bipolar disorder.
Your staff kept telling me that my eating behavior was a symptom of other problems. Well even though I didn't believe them they turned out to be right. I don't use laxatives, I have even learned to exercise moderately. Thank you so much. By the way, it has been ten months since I last purged.

Well Shelly, I told you I would write when I had one year in recovery and here I am. Who would have guessed. I have so much gratitude for you taking your time and referring me to a great facility. I knew from the moment I walked in there that I was in the right place. The next time I come by it will be to visit, not as a patient. You are absolutely the greatest.

What is Bipolar Disorder
Although the causes of bipolar disorder are not definitive, it is believed to be a genetic disorder. Bipolar disorder is characterized by mood swings that alternate between severe depression to extreme elation. These bipolar disorder symptoms can appear as quickly as they disappear and can fluctuate from mild to severe within a matter of minutes. In addition, those with bipolar disorder may encounter dramatic disruptions in thought resulting in social function impairment and distortions of perception.

Those who do not seek bipolar disorder treatment have a high rate of symptom recurrence. The severity of bipolar disorder symptoms varies, but those with the most severe bipolar disorders experience at least one psychiatric hospitalization.
Bipolar disorder treatment varies, depending upon the severity of symptoms but may include the use of mood stabilizing drugs. In addition, antidepressants are commonly given in combination with mood stabilizers to assist in depression. Stimulants can also be administered.
