What treatments are available
Mental health professionals need a variety of skills to treat people with eating disorders. A doctor can help diagnose the illness and any associated physical problems resulting from it. In both anorexia nervosa and bulimia, self-help strategies can be very helpful. If this approach does not work, health professionals may suggest a course of psychotherapy. If someone has lost a dangerous amount of weight, the first step will be to help the person start to regain that weight in order to survive. Some people with anorexia may need to be admitted to hospital and the nursing staff has an important role in supporting the patient in the early stages of treatment. Psychological and psychotherapy skills are also necessary at this acute stage, so that the mental health team can begin to understand why the illness developed and how to help the person to overcome it.

Here's a suggestion: tell me why these issues are so important to teens today. Do you have any suggestions for a grae 7 or 8 girl who is dealing with self esteem issues?
You're right with this, it's all personal will. But being anorexic is almost like being infatuated with the want of being skinnier. I really like the post. Yeah, maybe you could level with your readers, try and make them feel like you can help them with these blogs. Whereas now you're just showing them the facts, our society likes it in their faces and it has to be something big for them to realize.
