Eating disorder treatment: Know your options

Take an active role

You are the most important member of your treatment team. For treatment to work, you need to take part in your treatment, as do your family members and other loved ones. Your treatment team can help you learn more about eating disorders and tell you where to find more information and support.

There's a lot of bad information about eating disorders on the web. Follow your treatment team's advice and get their input on which websites you can trust to learn more about your eating disorder. Examples of websites you can trust include the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED), National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) and Families Empowered and Supporting Treatment of Eating Disorders (F.E.A.S.T.).
