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 Mental Health Treatment For?
Over the past decade, much has been learned about the benefits of mental health treatment. Where at one time, this form of treatment was used exclusively for patients suffering from schizophrenia, paranoia and similar disorders, today, mental health treatments are utilized to treat a wide variety of emotional issues, including eating disorders.
The reason mental health treatment for patients with eating disorders can be so effective is because eating disorders are in themselves, mental health conditions. Most patients develop their eating disorders as a result of some deep-down emotional issue. Often, the patient will suffer from an eating disorder in addition to one of more of the following conditions:
Depression
Alcohol or drug addiction
Bipolar disorder
Anxiety
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Borderline personality disorder
Compulsive behavior
Schizophrenia
What Does Mental Health Treatment Include?
In almost every case, a person with an eating disorder will be in need of some type of mental health treatment. This component of the patient’s overall treatment plan will typically encompass talk therapy, medication therapy or a combination of both. The types of talk therapy which routinely offer the greatest impact for the patient are cognitive behavioral, experiential, group process and individual treatment. Family counseling is also strongly recommended for patients looking for long-term healing and recovery.
