Read Explaining colours to a blind man. Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.

Its fine you can still be diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa if yo have a period, I ws as well. My official diagnosis was Anorexia Nervosa F50.1 simply because I fitted all the other criteria. I remember being well pissed off because I was so sure they couldnt label me as anorexic because I still had my period ad somehow that was good because it meant I was actually fine and i wasnt really ill. It meant everyone else was wrong, turned out there is stupid number of labels and types of anorexia.

The most common way I know of is with calipers, but you need someone trained how to use them properly to get an accurate result. It measures the skinfolds and gives you your body density, which can then be used to calculate your body fat percentage. ([4.570 ÷ body density] – 4.142) x 100 = body fat percentage. There’s plenty of info online. Most gyms would have a trainer that could help you calculate your body fat if you were really interested.

To me putting names on all of this is so not the point. If you have eating issues however mild or severe you have a problem and not living life to the full – it doesn’t matter if we’re not on deaths door we need somekind of support without all the labels depending on what health isues you present with!!!

I would be very interested in knowing what this doctor’s opinion would be on clients who present with both anorexia and bulimia. How would such patients be diagnosed and treated?
