GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOTV)-The number of children under the age of 12 admitted to the hospital for an eating disorder rose 119% in less than a decade, according to Eating Disorders Coalition. Eating Disorders account for 4% of all childhood hospitalizations. Many times when treatment is finally sought, the illness has spiraled out of control and the chances for a full recovery grow slim.
There are several different approaches to treatment and recovery depending on the patient and individual need. Out-patient treatment include seeking therapy, a nutritionist, dietitian and primary care physician. These are often the first steps towards recovery. In-patient treatment is a form of treatment where patients, who are at a more critical condition, need hospitalization and 24 hour care. Below is a list of hotlines (you can call anonymously), and Eating Disorder resources. Recovery is possible, and help is available.
