[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When this happened to my daughter I did not find the peditrician helpful. I went to a therapist that specialized in eating disorders and they evaluated my daughter.  After my daughter spent some sessions with her it was determined that she was anorexic and needed intensive out patient therapy.  I had to wait 6 weeks to get her into a program and that was quick....most places had at least 2 month waiting lists to get into those programs.  And it was a scary wait and I had to sit with her daily to get her to even eat 1000 calories of food a day.  She was only 12 years old.  I suggest you start with a therapist that specializes in eating disorders to see how they diagnosis your daughter.  It may be nothing....but if it isn't you will be happy you got early intervention.

This seems suspicious to me. If she lost her period/had laguno hair/was restricting calories below what is needed for her age or other thing you would have to have a very out of touch pediatrician to miss full blown anorexia. Was she underweight? Something is missing from this story to from a pediatrician who doesn't think there is an issue to a serious psychiatric diagnosis.[/quote]
