Getting help
If you suspect that you or someone you know has Anorexia Nervosa, it is important to
seek help immediately. The earlier you seek help the closer you are to recovery. While
your GP may not be a specialist in eating disorders, they are a good ‘first base.’ A GP
can provide a referral to a practitioner with specialised knowledge in health, nutrition
and eating disorders.
