[quote=Anonymous]I may get flamed for this but I just want to add my perspective because you are getting a lot of advice here recommending starting treatment. Yes, I think you need to get educated about eating disorders. However, I would think twice before sending her into a treatment facility. These places have a wide age range, with adolescents with personality disorders and some extreme cases of eating disorders. There is a bit of a competitive air with eating disordered girls (yes a bit of a generalization) and comparison of who is more extreme. I think it can have a negative impact being exposed to so much at a young age of 12/13 - a lot of the girls in the treatment centers have a lot more experience, some traumatic history. Also take my own advice with a grain of salt. I have a family member with an ED and have been to family and group therapy sessions. But I haven’t been experienced it firsthand.[/quote]
