[quote=Anonymous]OP, she needs to be seen by a treatment center. Are you in DC?  My 17yo daughter is being treated by the Eating Disorder clinic at Children’s National Hospital.  Direct number - (202) 895-3896 (Friendship Heights). Get on the waiting list and in the meantime learn everything you can about the Maudsley Method. It’s what the majority of treatment centers use. They will benefit from having a copy of your daughters growth chart from your pediatrician. Unfortunately an appointment with our pediatrician did nothing. Go straight for a treatment center.

Tell her about the appointment. Gently. Frame it in a nonjudgmental way. You know your daughter and how to do it. Also don’t make a big deal about it. Phrase it in the form of a wellness/nutrition appointment if necessary.

Get the book - https://www.amazon.com/Help-Teenager-Eating-Disorder-Second/dp/146251748X/ref=mp_s_a_1_15?crid=297I6Z2M7ULPT&keywords=eating+disorder&qid=1661511644&sprefix=eating+disorder%2Caps%2C87&sr=8-15

You can do this. It’s a marathon not a race. [/quote]
