[quote=Anonymous]OP, you can go to nationaleatingdisorders.org to find treatment options by zip code. cross check that list with your insurance. You will need to be willing to spend time on the phone & getting on waitlists. Look for doctors who can do a medical evaluation specific to eating disorders - bloodwork might be "in range" on all items but someone trained can see what's still off from restricting food. When we were working toward admitting our daughter for residential treatment, they wanted recent bloodwork, current vitals, and growth charts. Look for a place that uses "Family Based Therapy." The book a PP mentioned is a really good one (how to help your teen fight an eating disorder) and you probably need to read it TODAY and start some of the changes in your home now. Don't wait. These things don't get better on their own and what you are noticing is already a pretty established disorder at work. Good luck.[/quote]
