Is eating disorder treatment hard?
Question : Is eating disorder treatment hard?
I am going to start seeing an eating disorder specialist next week and eventually do a partial hospitalization program possibly. How hard is it to recover from anorexia or an eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS)? Does the therapy really help? What exactly happens in treatment that helps? Do they make you force yourself to eat?

It is extremely difficult to recover from an eating disorder, but in the end it is so worth it. Trust me, I know. At the beginning, I didn’t think therapy really helped, but after awhile I did notice a difference and I think it is very helpful. They won’t force feed you unless you are extremely under weight and refuse to eat anything…but usually it’s not necessary. But meals are supervised and usually you can’t use the bathroom for like an hour afterwards.
I want to wish you good luck on your recovery. You can get through this, I know you can. If you need support or someone to talk to or anything, you can email me.

I think depending on the person, the disorder, and the facility, treatment will vary. If you’re interested, you may want to take a look at this site, http://www.eatingdisorder.com/eating-disorders-treatment.html?utm_source=ans&utm_medium=pv&utm_content=ld&utm_campaign=rcx and on there you will find tons of great information about eating disorders, and the treatment programs available for that disorder.
Also there is a toll-free helpline number on the site, that I think you should call, and you will speak to a trained counselor who will be able to answer any questions you have about the treatment, and how the program goes, and they will be more than happy to help you.
Good luck, best wishes to you.
